You love to see it

Good for him. He’s absolutely spot on

This.

True.

So glad he did.

Well done him!

Well done, Ty.

Good for him. It’s interesting times when footballers are the only ones in a position where they feel they can speak their mind against injustices like this.

Good for him!

I actually love this present group of footballers in the England team. They make me so proud and are incredible role models for young people. Well for all of us really.

Bloody well done to him. He's absolutely nailed it. PP should be utterly ashamed of herself for her sheer hypocrisy.

What wonderful role models some of these footballers are. Their mums must be so very very proud.

Agree with Tyrone. The booing should have been condemned by the government

Good. He's absolutely right.

Perfect.
As was Harry Kane telling the racist knuckle draggers that the team don't want their support.

He’s spot on, well done for speaking out. This group of players are much better role models than the ones of previous years.

🖤

Tell it like it is! Way to go!

Normally I would say footballers should kick balls not play with politics but this last 18 months a lot of them have been absolutely spot on haven't they

Good for him!

PP is a horror of a human being.

To damn right. Good on him for pulling her up for such hypocrisy.

This group of players are much better role models than the ones of previous years.

Spot on. So glad we haven't seen any of the wags on arms as well.

Good for him. Absolutely spot on.

Well someone needs to. I'm so sick of the top down racism and general divisiveness of politicians and the rank hypocrisy. Good on him.

I think it's a bit weird that someone who is standing up against racism now is being called out on it now. She was pulled up for it after the original comments too.

It feels like it's a sign that people don't think attitude and behaviours can change and is quite scary to see that.

Good for him, and the rest of the team for their solidarity with their black team mates. They are setting a great example.

I think it shows that people know hypocrisy and bandwagon jumping when they see it. She hasn't "changed her mind" in light of something new. This happens week in week out, and is the reason that the footballers have been taking the knee, for which she criticised them.

I actually think it's terrifying (no not too strong, I don't think) that both she and the PM felt unable to condemn the booing in the first place. I mean what is there to object to in a group of people making a short, quiet protest to highlight a major social injustice? How could the booing possibly be justified and yet they know their audience so couldn't condemn it
