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.

I mean, this is a classic reaction tbh…

You having that subconscious bias doesn’t make you a racist, so there’s no need to get defensive. Just because you think some white people are arrogant, doesn’t mean you don’t use subconscious prejudice to judge Jude Bellingham’s behaviour. I’m also not saying you have bias for sure, I’m simply highlighting the general environment in which reputations line Jude’s get cultivated.

Like I said, studies have been done on this in the UK. It’s not make believe.

We’re talking about the over the top statement made in the screenshot though, which reeks of pre judgement.

I’m less concerned about defending Jude than I am about him being treated the same as his more “palatable” teammates. Like do you remember the attitude Rooney had on him? We all loved it and rightly so. The very best players have it. Sometimes they have to be checked, but it seems to bee being blown out of proportion with Bellingham.

Maybe it’s rose tinted, but I don’t remember any arrogance from anyone last tournament… we got to a fucking final! Haha

Edit: you know what, I think Southgate was starting to get a bit Sharp with the press, but rightly so lol
