\nA U.K. man was arrested this week after making racially abusive remarks toward three English soccer players following the national team\u2019s loss in the Euro 2020 champion ship match. England\u2019s dream run ended Sunday against Italy when Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka, who are Black, missed consecutive penalties to end the match. Police in London and elsewhere began investigating racist real-world graffiti and online abuse aimed at the three players almost immediately after the game ended, as the abuse was widely condemned, including by England manager Gareth Southgate and Prince William. Greater Manchester Police said Wednesday that a 37-year old man had turned himself in and was arrested on suspicion of violating the Malicious Communications Act. \u201cWe are firm in our commitment, any racist abuse whether online or off is not acceptable,\u201d Detective Inspector Matt Gregory said, according to BBC News. \u201cThe actions of a small number of people overshadowed what was a hugely unifying event for our country.\u201d It is unclear if more arrests are imminent.
