Þeir Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho og Bukayo Saka hafa allir orðið fyrir barðinu á miklu kynþáttahatri á samfélagsmiðlum í gærkvöldi. Það er í kjölfar þess að leikmennirnir klikkuðu á spyrnum sínum í vítaspyrnukeppni úrslitaleiks Evrópumótsins í gærkvöldi.
Eins og flestir vita þá varð Ítalía Evrópumeistari í fótbolta í gær eftir sigur á Englandi. Sem fyrr segir þá fór leikurinn alla leið í vítaspyrnukeppni. Þar hafði Ítalía betur.
Rashford, Sancho og Saka eru allir dökkir á hörund og því miður hafa óprúttnir aðilar notað það gegn þeim er þeir senda leikmönnunum ósvífin skilaboð vegna útkomu vítaspyrnukeppninnar.
Sem betur fer hefur þó fjöldi fólks stigið upp og sent leikmönnunum hlýjar kveðjur. Þar á meðal er fjöldi þekkts fólks, knattspyrnufélaga, stjórnmálafólks og mun fleiri.
Aðeins brot af þeim fallegu skilaboðum sem leikmennirnir þrír hafa fengið í gegnum samfélagsmiðla frá leiknum í gær má sjá hér fyrir neðan.
We couldn't be any prouder of Bukayo.
But once again, we are sad to have to say we condemn the racism of a number black players.

This England team deserve to be lauded as heroes, not racially abused on social media.
Those responsible for this appalling abuse should be ashamed of themselves.

The FA and Prime Minister Boris Johnson have condemned racist online abuse suffered by a number of England players following the Euro 2020 loss to Italy…

Booing and racially abusing the fine young men that play for our country and have given us so much pleasure and joy over the last month is not being an @england fan. That goes for the pathetic fighting at the ground too. It’s a minority but it’s a loud one and it’s embarrassing.

We are driven by inclusion and equality and nobody should have to endure the repulsive online abuse seen recently. pic.twitter.com/JvfL2oSXAD

I admire every player who steps up & shows the balls to take a penalty in a game that important. Especially when they’re just 19, 21 & 23. Proud of you @BukayoSaka87 @Sanchooo10 @MarcusRashford– you missed, and we lost, but you’ve all got guts. pic.twitter.com/YOBP4bmpBd

We win together and we lose together. So proud to have teammates with such top character. Takes huge bollocks just to volunteer. As for the racism, hurtful but not surprising. Will never get bored of saying that more needs to be done. Educate and control the platforms!✊🏽 pic.twitter.com/LHSBoZin8O
