So either the press were a) being racist or b) are so unaware of their institutionalised racism that it never occurred to them that choosing to criticise and use the image of only black players, at least one of who didn't do anything wrong or even play a major part in the game, was a terrible idea/optic.
Either way it might not be the KKK lighting crosses on Mainoo's Dad's lawn but it is, at best, a ludicrously and casually clumsy and mildly racist failure to read the room.
We’ve established that this didn’t happen.
