Katherine BiekPolice in the U.K. have arrested four people over online racist abuse directed at members of England's soccer team after it lost in the final of the UEFA European Championship Sunday.
Police say three Black players were targeted online.
All three of them missed critical penalty kicks in the shootout that won Italy the championship.
The team’s manager called the online abuse “unforgivable.”
Police are working with social media platforms to learn the identities of other users they believe are behind the slew of racist comments.
