I don't normally read The Guardian, but on this they seem to be the only rag that has bothered to do any research for themselves instead of hopping on the headline bandwagon.

I wholeheartedly decry racism in all its forms, but like to get a clear perspective on things. The media and political storm has been based on the actions of a significant minority of deviants. I tend to think that their time would have been better spent directing their messaging at said deviants and making it clear that this is not how the rest of civilised society expects its members to behave.
Over half the recorded incidents were about Taking the Knee, which may well be veiled racism, but at least is an acceptable argument not to involve politics in sport, even if you don't agree with them.
So less than 5% of the abusive posts were overtly racist, which must be a very small proportion of all comment on the games on social media. Still far too much, but surely not worth all the headlines detracting from the achievements of the team? |  | | |  |

Does it say where the posts came from? I can't see that information.
I would like to know how many came from Scotland and Wales. |  | | |

The taking of the knee, the Kick It Out campaign too started long before the Euro 2020 finals. Racism has been a problem in football for decades. |  | | |

To sum up
The graffiti on the Rashford mural was NOT racist.
Most of the racist comments on social media came from abroad.
Taking a knee is inextricably linked to BLM, a violent, extremist organisation.
It seems there are sinister forces at work, doing all they can to foment this hatred | |

BLM, a violent, extremist organisation? Just sounds as though black people don't want to pushed around by white people anymore. | | | |

i dont see many none liberated black people in the UK, certainly dont while looking at the multi millionaires taking the knee while they are supposed to be playing football that i have paid alot of money to go see at the stadium. no where does it say i must watch a min of BBC commons at every bloody game.
lets free the black lives of the UK who are being deadly oppressed, in fact, Sterling is so oppressed, he was enslaved by his job forced at gun point to sign for Manchester City while sitting in chains dieing from hunger while earning 60 odd mill a year .......
My heart bleeds............. | | | |
