Bella Hadid, Nora Attal show support for England players
After a number of Black English football players faced a torrent of racist abuse online following the team’s loss to Italy in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday, part-Arab models have taken to social media to show their support for the young players.
On Tuesday, part-Palestinian model Bella Hadid re-shared a post that 23-year-old player Marcus Rashford published apologizing to his fans and teammates for having a “difficult season.”
“I felt as if I’d let everyone down. A penalty was all I’d been asked to contribute for the team,” he wrote on Instagram, referring to his missed penalty shot during the game.
Moroccan-British model Nora Attal took to her Instagram Stories to share a post by TV personality Vas J. Morgan that called for an end to racism.
