Shame on the England Squad

Good hi,

I saw that Scotland announced that their players will be taking a stand against racism at the Euros this summer.

It was then also announced that England would not be taking a stand against racism this summer.

Andy Robertson, Scotland Men’s National Team captain:

“It is important we continue to tackle the issue of racism and raise awareness of the need to change people’s mindsets but also their behaviours.

“Prior to our World Cup qualifiers in March we spoke as a group and felt that taking a stand was the best way for us to show solidarity and also to reinforce the need for meaningful change in society."

It is just really disappointing that England are refusing to stand up to racism after all that has gone on in the past year.

Shame on you England.

Fond regards

It is very disappointing. The message it sends is one of surrender to those Neanderthals who follow English clubs and England. I do wonder how these racist people square the circle of booing "taking the knee" and then seeing Rashford or Sterling scoring the goal that wins us the tournament.

This racism stuff is getting seriously annoying now. Everytime I switch sky sports news on they're covering it.

Absolute state of this. Go and take your head for a sh!t.

I've just read that England players will be taking the knee and Scotland players will not, are England really just going to kneel in front of a standing Scotland team?

I do find England's refusal to take a stand against racism by actively protesting against standing to be abhorrent. How difficult is it to just take a stand and show the world that racism shall not be tolerated? We have been taking a stand against racism for many months now in Scotland. I just don't see why England won't join us in unity behind that cause.

It has just been announced that England have successfully banned Scotland from taking a stand against racism. Absolute disgrace.

Can't have one team kneeling and the other mooning back... The spectacle would diminish the actual football.
