Racism In Football
Euro 2020:
During this tournament England went out on penalties to Italy and these three unfortunately didn't score their penalties. It's disgusting how much racial abuse all of them got online. There is no place for racism under any circumstances and when it comes to football racism manages to slip through the cracks and it's simply not right or fair when the majority of England fans knew these players poured their hearts out but purely because of the colour of their skin and the fact they missed their penalties they get racially abused, here is what these players had to say.
Bukayo Saka
“There is no place for racism or hate of any kind in football or any area of society and to the majority of people coming together to call out the people sending these messages, by taking action and reporting these to the police and driving out the hate by being kind to one another, we will win.”
Jadon Sancho
I'm not going pretend that I didn't see the racial abuse that me and my brothers Marcus and Bukayo received after the game, but sadly it's nothing new. As a society we need to do better, and hold these people accountable. "Hate will never win.
Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford has admitted he briefly lost his love for football after being racially abused in the aftermath of England's defeat in the Euro 2020 final to Italy.
Football is a global sport and I feel as though It's really important that issues such as racism are brought to light. The Premier League alone has welcomed players from 121 different nations since it started back in 1992. So, if you aren't a fan of diversity in football then is there really a point of being a fan at all?
In February 2021, the Premier League launched its "No Room For Racism" Action Plan, which outlines a series of commitments and targets to promote equality, diversity and inclusion and increase opportunities across the beautiful game.

Taking the Knee for Racism has been a sign of solidarity throughout history since 1787, 10 years before the slave trade was abolished. It's a symbolic gesture against Racism and it has recently been brought about much more in the present day within football due to the ''No room for racism'' movement.

Wilfried Zaha on No Room For Racism movement
I'm not going to take the knee.” At the start of this season the Premier League distanced itself from Black Lives Matter by replacing its logo with No Room for Racism on shirts. Zaha said: “I'm not going to wear Black Lives Matter on the back of my shirt because it feels like it's a target.”
