Ian Wright is a footballing & cultural treasure. His bravery to perfectly articulate & spark uncomfortable conversations is so powerful. The lack of empathy from people demonstrates an unconscious privilege & no lived suffering / experience. Bellingham, Sterling, Rashford, Saka, Lewis-Skelly, Pogba, Lingard, the names change but the treatment doesn't. Confidence, bravado & outgoing black footballers spark insecurity & hate. The Kante & Pogba analogy couldn't be more accurate. Jack Grealish's behaviour is bulletproof, Phil Foden can cheat on his partner on England duty - the treatment & coverage is not the same. White players have been brutalised, but that's merging two separate issues. The intent is different & it's not a justification either. Craig Hope, Richard Keys, Matt Law, we see you.
