The England national team wanted to virtue signal by having 2 white players followed by 3 black players in its penalty kick lineup. If the 3 black players would have made their goals, you can bet the woke headlines would have been praising the black players for saving the team, and would have mentioned that they were black and gone into background stories highlighting how victimized they were in their journey to that moment.

Now, they get to highlight all the alleged racism that is being hurled at these players. It's a win-win scenario for the party of Davos, in terms of propaganda value.

I'd like to know who set the lineup this way, and whether they were pressured to set it this way.
