Can you demonstrate some examples of media reporting that have this dog whistling and undertone, from after the 2021 final. You speak that you 'still remember' it as if it left some stark examples
Two different statements. Different paragraphs. Perhaps not articulated greatly. Not referring to media when speaking of fallout, but rather public reaction. Rashford, Sancho and Saka were racially abused incessantly. However, I do feel there is a media undertone that reads like dogwhistles to me when reporting on black players, and it does feel as though it is done with the purpose of rallying weirdos. Sterling and Pogba come to mind, and more recently Mainoo too - albeit in Mainoo's case it seemed more rooted in ignorance/prejudice and a lack of general football understanding.
Moreover, you've more replies than anyone else in this thread and you seem intent on that there's seemingly no issue - and the reasoning seems anchored to "white players get it too". To me that's a reductive view of a complex matter, but alas - you go ahead.
