You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.
If you see a friend/acquaintance etc giving a player racial abuse because of tonight, it’s your responsibility to hold them accountable.
It’s disgusting. Do not be complacent with it.
This is my little brother Matthew(18)
At 6 weeks old he was told he’d never be able to walk. Stuck in a wheel chair his whole life.
~2 months ago he was told it was possible.
This is him, 1 month into training alongside me, walking a full 40 yards without any support.
