#EURO2020 has opened up a space about what it means to be English and who belongs in England.
This tournament has been a tale of two Englands - one of inclusion and support; the other division and abuse.
Both were on show throughout, and exploded after the final. 1/12
The team demonstrated solidarity & anti-racism for a country divided by a pandemic & hate: Rashford & Henderson who had coordinated support during the pandemic, to Sterling’s leadership in exposing racism, the team taking the knee to Kane wearing the Pride captain’s armband. 2/12
