England fans boo players taking a knee before Romania friendly at Riverside Stadium
England players were once again booed by some of their own fans before Sunday’s final Euro 2020 warm-up game; Gareth Southgate reiterates England’s players will continue to take part in anti-racism gesture

Disgraceful that England fans should boo their own team simply for taking the knee in support of the BLM campaign which is international.
What were they thinking? That black lives don't matter? Many of the England players are black and have experienced racism first hand and very recently. Striker Marcus Rashford received over 70 racist abuse texts after his team Man Utd. were beaten by Villareal in the Europa League Final. Amazingly one of the most abusive texts came from a maths teacher. Fair enough say he played crap if you think that, but what has his race and the fact he is black got to do with it? Marcus has since the England incident come out and said the England team will continue taking the knee before all their games in the European Nations Cup, so in other words, 'fuck em!'
