The English national soccer player Bukayo Saka has criticized the social platforms Instagram, Twitter and Facebook after the racist hateful comments against him and his teammates Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.
“I knew immediately what kind of hatred I was going to face.
And it is a sad reality that your powerful platforms are not doing enough to stop this news, «wrote the 19-year-old on Twitter on Thursday.
Saka was the last penalty taker of the Three Lions in the lost European Championship final against Italy last Sunday, as did Sancho and Rashford.
The three were then covered with hateful comments on social media.
"I don't want any child or adult to receive the hateful and hurtful messages that I, Marcus and Jadon received this week," wrote the Arsenal midfielder.
Saka apologized for his missed penalty.
“I really believed we'd win this for you guys.
I'm sorry we couldn't bring it home this year, ”he wrote.
There are no words for his disappointment, he felt as if he had abandoned the whole country and his team.
"I promise you that we will give everything"
At the same time, he thanked you for the countless encouraging messages and was combative: "I promise you that we will give everything to ensure that this generation knows what it feels like to win."
There is no room for racism anywhere.
Saka ended his message with the words "Love always wins".
Sancho and Rashford had also previously spoken out with similar statements.
