The 26-year-old football player Paul Pogba is under fire for missing a penalty in a recent match against the wolves while playing for Manchester united. The match had ended in a draw, so penalties were taken to decide the winner.
Paul Pogba Is Not The First
This isn’t the first time that a player, especially a black like Paul Pogba has become a victim of racism. Before him, other players like Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham and Reading’s Yakou Meite have faced a similar situation in which they were trolled in a racist manner on social media.
The racial trolling of Pogba began after the Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio managed to save a penalty kick taken by him in the second half of a premier league match between Manchester United and the Wolver Hampton Wanderers on Monday that ended at a draw.
The Manchester United, in response to the incident, said we would take strict action against anyone involved in any acts of racism against its players. We have a zero racism tolerance policy.
The Racist Comments Are Such A Disgrace
For a year it was thought that racism has formally ended in a game whose roots stretch back to the 12 century across multiple continents. To see that it is still prevalent in such a humble sport is a disgrace.
It was Marcus Rashford who was meant to take the penalty but instead he requested Paul to take it as he felt that he was better at taking a penalty kick. People are remembering Pogba actions in the following manner while he approached to kick the ball.
We Stand With You
Teammates and fans are uniting in favor of the Pogba. They are offering him their full support
His fans are requesting him not to give heed to the people passing negative comments and just focus on the game
