Despite the disappointing outcome of the 2024 men's Euros final for England, it's a relief that none of the team's ethnic minority players could easily be targeted for the result.
Researchers ask English footballers about the traumatic impact of racial abuse—their answers are sobering
The themes developed in our ongoing research largely mirror those in the US collegiate system, highlighting some really stark trauma from racist abuse. This includes suicidal thoughts, early retirement and loss of identity. This racial abuse ranged from overt incidents during games, to online abuse and stereotyping. We found that it had a negative impact not just on players' mental health, but also their careers.
There have been numerous different coping mechanisms recognized in the existing research on racial trauma in sport. For example, some athletes felt that confiding in people within their own communities—both within and beyond sport—helped, as there was a lack of trust in those from outside. This lack of trust may result in players feeling uncomfortable to seek professional psychological support.
He felt this led to a loss of identity, and he attempted to take his own life, as he felt he no longer knew who he was. These really evocative experiences bring to life the seriously traumatic impacts of racial abuse.
