Doesn't really matter who he plays for (or perhaps it does) and it doesn't really matter if he's any good at football (or perhaps it does).

Actually it doesn't.

The guy has somehow single handedly / single mindedly changed the news narrative in the UK.

Is there anyone who honestly disagrees with what he's standing up for?

Not me.

His petition has over 1m signatures now.

Should get a standing ovation at all grounds he plays at when fans are back.

He must be nailed on for SPOTY.

Don't think he'll be nominated cos it's about on-field / sporting achievement.

Seems mad really when it is 'personality'.

I'd imagine the government will be wanting to kaibosh him also as imagine the platform that would give him prime time BBC everyone watching it because there is nothing else to do.

The 'personality' thing is a bit of a misnomer - it was from the 50s when personality meant celebrity or famous person. Nothing to do with their personalities.

Yeah, fair point

He will surely get some acknowledgement.

I think it is amazing that he is so socially conscious (as are a lot of our lot) at such a young age and with such wealth.

[Shaggy]

I hope they bend the rules for him tbh - the sporting calendar has been decimated this year (no Olympics, no Euros etc) so they should make an exception for him. He's doing and has inspired incredible things.

[Roboklopp]

But it’s virtue signalling if they do Shaggy.

[Rigadon]

We live in a strange world. If a politician (thinking Corbyn) had expressed similar concerns to Rashford (come to think of it, Corbyn probably spent a lot of time expressing concerns about child poverty), they would have been mocked (thinking right wing press and current Tory front bench).

Good on Rashford. He's shown compassion, understanding, maturity and bravery.

[Roboklopp]

Aye, it’s politicising it if a politician makes such a point apparently.

[gratziani]

have to agree with all about Rashford.

Could of just concentrated on his football and earned his millions but made a massive difference in a **** of a year for the country,

Admiration of the charts for the lad
