Summary:
In the article 'UK police arrest 11 over racist abuse following England loss to Italy' the article talks about how there was a lot of abuse and towards Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bukayo Saka. These people were abused because of missing the penalty goals in the final of the European Championship. In the aftermath of the situation, the UK Football Policing Unit has asked for all the social media information to be given to the police force. Only recently the police force has arrested 11 people for a couple of offences. So far the ages from the arrests have been from 18-36 years old. Until further inspection, they have been released or posted on bail until the court hearing.
Critical literacy question: Who is most likely to read this text and why? I think people who are interested in football or people who are interested in political sports. This is because the text talks about there's a lot of abuse of racism just from a football game. I think this article was written to show the other side of sports and how cruel it can be.
