Prince William Condemns Abuse Directed At England's Black Footballers: 'I Am Sickened'

Some, however, pointed out that the Duke of Cambridge and the royal family are facing allegations of racism themselves.
Prince William said he is “sickened” by the racist abuse that three Black soccer players for England have received since the team lost to Italy in the European Championship finals Sunday night. After Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka missed penalty kicks at the end of the match, the three faced a torrent of “offensive and racist” posts on social media. Many prominent public figures have condemned the outpouring of bigotry, and the Metropolitan Police has said it is investigating at least some of the social media content. “It is totally unacceptable that players have to endure this abhorrent behaviour,” William, who is president of the English Football Association, wrote on the official Twitter account of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Monday morning.
