The Mirror: Rashford and Lingard in a group photo with a racist rapper attracted criticism

According to the "Mirror" newspaper, Rashford and Lingard have recently been criticized for their photo with a rapper with racist tendencies.

The photo was posted by the rapper named Willie, who was abandoned by the agency in 2020 for inappropriate rhetoric about anti-Semitism. It is reported that Willie was performing in Dubai at that time, and many Premier League players are currently on vacation in Dubai, so there is a photo of Jesse Lingard and Rashford with him. But after the photo was exposed, Marcus Rashford posted a statement on his social media reiterating his commitment to fighting anti-Semitism.

Marcus Rashford wrote on social media: "This photo caught my attention, I understand the impact of this photo, and people may have some misconceptions about it. I would like to emphasize here that I will not tolerate any rhetoric or behaviour about anti-Semitism. And I think anti-Semitism needs a lot more attention and it should be part of the anti-racist stance. ”

Because of the inappropriate remarks he has posted, Willie was once banned from all tweets by Twitter officials in 2020. At the time, Willie's agent had written on Twitter: "In view of the inappropriate remarks made by Willy, we have severed any ties with him, and anti-Semitism has no place for itself in society." ”

Over the past few years, there have also been numerous incidents of anti-Semitism in football, including a West Ham fan who claimed to have been abused on a plane, which led to the arrest of a man. In addition, the BBC has apologized for the anti-Semitic slogans and Nazi salute footage in the documentary.

Rashford, himself a victim of racism, told reporters about his past experiences, saying: "As I got older, I entered the world of professional football, but at the same time I had to deal with some of the more complex topics, including racism and other issues. But what I've learned from it is that there are times when you can never know all the answers to a certain question, and I'm not going to pretend that racism doesn't have any effect on me, or that I have the perfect answer to the problem. ”
