Rashford, Sancho, Saka
Black excellence in Football.
Sunday hurt... The England men’s football team missed out on becoming European Champions after losing to Italy. Despite the team’s historic performance Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka got loads of racist abuse online for missing their penalties. Now, it kinda feels like the country is standing up to racism.
This week De-Graft visits the Marcus Rashford mural in Manchester, which was defaced after the Euro final. We celebrate the success of the Black English players with Black sports journalist, Leon Mann, and we speak to grime artist, Saskilla, about what the FA is doing to tackle racism in football.
Clips credit goes to Century Films who helped produce Saskilla’s doc for BBC3: "Do Black Lives Still Matter?"
