polyversity:ctolisso:ctolisso:ctolisso:ctolisso:ctolisso:A local resident puts love hearts and slogans on the plastic that covers offensive graffiti on the vandalised mural of Manchester United striker and England player Marcus Rashford on the wall of a cafe on Copson Street, Withington on July 12, 2021 in Manchester, England. Rashford and other Black players on England’s national football team have been the target of racist abuse, largely on social media, after the team’s loss to Italy in the UEFA European Football Championship last night. A defaced mural of Marcus Rashford is repaired by the artist Akse P19 on July 13, 2021 in Manchester, England. For anyone outside the UK, this footballer (and others on his team) received a lot of racist abuse after England lost the final match on Sunday.Some of the far right in this country are also big into football, so yeah it’s sadly not surprising.In a place where there was offensive graffiti, locals have covered it with hundreds of positive messages.Marcus Rashford is also famous for campaigning for the rights of children from poor families to have enough food. Something you’d hope shouldn’t be necessary, but basically he forced our skeezy government into a u-turn last year that got kids free meals during quarantine. So yeah he’s well liked in this country. -- source link
