    OK, I'll admit it...

    I know very little about the top football clubs, nor the leagues, nor the players.

    However, I've just seen on the news that Marcus Rashford, who I understand plays for Manchester United has been racially abused after a match last night.

    What the hell is the matter with these people?

    I recall that this lad took on the Government to supply food for kids who were starving. I don't recall him demanding that only black children should be fed. As I recall, it was all kids, male and female, black, white and all shades between who qualified. He didn't racislise his demands and yet he is being picked on because of his colour.

    I don't know if things have changed, but I always thought that professional footballers (whilst highly overpaid) were selected because of their expertise both in and on their field.

    For him to have been chosen, gives me the impression that he must be better than a lot of other players. So why are sick people abusing him over his colour? He has proven himself to be better than a lot of white people. That's the reason he played and not a white player.

    I hope the police catch up with and deal with the abusers. One of whom I understand to be a school teacher!

    Let's all do our part and keep abuse out of our lives. No matter who and no matter what!
