Comedian Andrew Lawrence's Shows Get Cancelled, Twitter Account Deleted After His Racist Comments on England Footballers Go Viral
Comedian Andrew Lawrence has been dropped from many comedy gigs after tweeting a racist remark about England’s footballers. Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, and Jadon Sancho were the ones on target.
Racism is never right and the latest celeb to feel the wrath of the same is comedian Andrew Lawrence. After his racist comment, the stand-up comedian has been cancelled from all his upcoming gigs and his Twitter account has also been deleted. All this happened after he mocked England's footballers following their penalty shootout defeat.
He started with, "All I'm saying is, the white guys scored," which was followed by, "Equality, diversity, sh*t penalties." He also added, "I'm sorry that black guys are bad at penalties." However, as we all know that what one reaps is what one sows. Here's how it went down.
