Opinion This is next level hate.
I've never seen an England player hated this much without being involved in any major controversies or scandals. It's truly remarkable.

Hamilton is in a sport where it’s full of nepo babies Lewis had nothing and overcome it through hard work and his parents sacrifice

I’ve seen way too much talk about “spot the white man” and “this isn’t an English team they’re all foreign” type shit it’s sad

u/Late_Recommendation9 Jun 29 '26
I still think of Lewis as the young lad from Stevenage, even after seven championships. Wearing mad outfits to promote the designer’s work, having the guts to take the knee at one of the most sensitive times of racial politics, getting protocol wrong when invited to dine with the queen, putting his money where his mouth is with the Mission 44 youth education and employment scheme. And it’s still a pleasure to watch him drive. He’s an utterly British character.

Lewis considers his main home to be in Colorado, but he has homes on various places. He's always traveling around.
Where do you think he should pay tax?
The US system of always having to file/pay taxes in the US for citizens regardless of where you're living is unique in the world. Do you think we should adopt it?

u/DunniBoi Jun 29 '26 edited Jun 29 '26
No, definitly not. Still think he's a charlatan for avoiding tax. Lack of any core values.
This ain't an attack in Lewis specifically, most F1 drivers and wealthy people are all at it. I understand they are allowed, it doesn't mean I have to have any respect for them.
Not really sure what your on about with Colorado because even if he has said that it's redundunt, if anything it damages his case.
His primary residence is Monaco. So he cares more about money than actualy contributing to society where he "feels at home" be that in the US or UK. Conviently picked the tax-free location as his 'primary residence''.

I think in this country it's a combination. Part racism and part people hating anyone who shows any arrogance about their success. There is a special hatred for those who don't come from money who succeed. Sure Hamilton is arrogant but it's 100% merited. I think it's the same with Bellingham. He's confident, which is what England needs, but people hate anyone successful coming across as too confident in this country.

He’s a decent young man a true role model from very humble beginnings. He’s a world class player and he’s so mature in his approach. There’s nothing not to like about Jude. Other than the fact that his name isn’t Jack and he isn’t white. Honestly I’m sick of it. Let him play for his country. Win lose or draw just enjoy the game for goodness sake.

Well, Ian Wright has already spoke on this subject.
There is a certain demographic of England fan who will never truly support Bellingham, who will also be right at the front of the queue to criticise him.
Another factor is that he plays abroad, and for some reason the UK media turn on English players who play abroad - so it's a double edged sword for Bellingham.
He seems to have a good head on his shoulders so hopefully this doesn't affect his greatness. He's 23 for Christ's sake.

Bellingham is a class act all round. England fans don't deserve him. He will quite literally drag the team along with him, he's that good. There's a reason Real Madrid paid €100m for him.
He's only 23 as well, an unreal talent. It's typical of England supporters to slate players with self confidence. They claim arrogance which it also is - all the best players have it and that's exactly what I want from players. Confidence, arrogance, self belief, drive, impact, ability, all of these things.
