Mykhaylo Mudryk provides convenient distraction with ‘racist’ rap video

Welcome to the English media,Mykhaylo Mudryk. Remember that TikTok video you made in a foreign language last year…

There are only two occasions when footballers appear on the front page of The Sun.

And as Mykhaylo Mudryk is not an England footballer wrapped in a St. George’s flag ahead of a major tournament game, we know straight away that he has been A Bad Boy.

Now you could argue that there are rather more important things going on in England right now – the UK being the only major economy predicted to shrink in 2023 after the Sun-backed Conservatives utterly f***ed us, being one – but according to The Sun, the biggest news right now is that a footballer said the N word last year.

We have a few problems with this. The first is that Mudryk is not a ‘88m Chelsea star’, he is a 62m Chelsea signing. The second is that it’s not relevant in the slightest how much he cost because the whole story is basically this: A 21-year-old born and raised in Ukraine for whom English is not his first language once made a TikTok video in which he rapped and repeated a lyric that should not be rapped and repeated by white people.
