the england subplot:
🚨 Kate Scott with a powerful message on CBS: “Whether or not you like Vini Jr, it should not shape your opinion on this incident.
Which team you support, should not affect what side you are on.
This is not Real Madrid vs. Benfica. This is about right vs wrong.
Vini Jr and Mbappé said there was repeated racial abuse. Prestianni said they misheard him.
But he covered his mouth to hide what he said from the cameras. If what you say on the pitch is shameful enough that you have to hide, then you’re wrong.
Racial abuse is nothing new in this game, players have suffered to pave the path for players like Vini Jr to celebrate without shackles, except in 2026.
They are expected to rise about it and shut up and play.
Jose Mourinho is an iconic figure. But yesterday he switched the focus and basically saying ‘Vini Jr is asking for it’. That is a damaging narrative.
We hope football becomes a better platform. Where diversity is truly celebrated. Not abused with shirts over mouths.
If you don’t agree, respectfully, you are the one that doesn’t belong.”
