Trevor Sinclair is a 49-year-old professional football player who played in the English Premier League. Trevor has been criticized for his post following the announcement of Queen Elizabeth’s death by Buckingham Palace.
At 6 p.m. UK time on Thursday, Buckingham Palace issued the following statement: “The Queen passed away quietly at Balmoral this afternoon.
“The King and Queen Consort will spend the night in Balmoral and return to London tomorrow,”
After the news broke, the world began to pay tribute to the longest-reigning monarch of the United Kingdom.
However, Trevor Sinclair’s tweet was met with significant opposition.
The former England international tweeted, “Racism was outlawed in England in the 1960s, but it’s been allowed to flourish, so why should black and brown people mourn?
”
As anticipated, numerous people began to respond to Sinclair, expressing their disapproval with the tweet.
One person responded, “Incredible! Disgusting. Unfollowed.”
Someone another stated, “State of this tweet. You are free to think anything you want about the monarchy and choose not to mourn, but why feel the need to tweet about it? ”
A third person added, “Absolute humiliation of a tweet. Hold your heads in shame and return your England caps for making such a statement. Clearly seeking clickbait during a time of national distress.”
Sinclair has served as a radio commentator for talkSPORT in recent years. Due to Sinclair’s tweet, many have demanded that the station fire him.
Since then, TalkSPORT has stated, “We’ve been attempting to reach Trevor Sinclair on his Twitter thoughts.” talkSPORT disapproves of these opinions and is investigating the matter.”
Former Crystal Palace chairman and Sinclair’s colleague at talkSPORT, Simon Jordan, stated: “Trev, I’m not sure that’s an appropriate idea, much alone a tweet. Respect and esteem, not discord, should be the prevailing emotions in light of the country of a person of great significance. ”
Since then, Sinclair’s tweet has been deleted, and his Twitter account is currently inactive.
