“For god’s sake Patel is Bame and knows herself about racial abuse”.
Does that give her a free pass to make comments without being challenged?
Of course black footballers have got every right to defend themselves against racist abuse AND challenge hypocrisy from senior politicians.
You and others are bending over backwards to have a go at the players. You are even defending Patel rather than Mings (or Ming’s as you call him).
The players are wrong when they miss a penalty, wrong when they challenge politicians, wrong when they don’t walk off the pitch, wrong because they support a Marxist organisation, wrong because they lost, wrong because they get involved in campaigns, wrong because they don’t get involved in campaigns, wrong because they earn too much and share it, wrong when they do share it, wrong for taking the knee.
It’s quite simple. Let’s see action to tackle racism, stop the politicians dog whistling, stop their fake support of the team and actually do something.
