Kick It Out has urged the media to remember their responsibilities in the aftermath of controversy surrounding the use of photos of Bukayo Saka following England's defeat to Iceland. Concerns were raised that such imagery could lead to racist backlash on social media, especially considering the previous abuse suffered by Saka, Marcus Rashford, and Jadon Sancho. Various figures, including Tony Burnett of the anti-discrimination charity, criticized the focus on Saka as a scapegoat, highlighting the need for the media to combat discrimination and promote a more inclusive environment in football.
