Foxes of Leicester would rather not call out fellow journalists for wrong, offensive and generally unfair and incorrect reporting. But, as an organisation that attempts to appropriately verbally protect LCFC from attacks of any kind by using rationale, logic and the absolute truth - this rebuke was technically unavoidable.
Naming the so-called 'reporter' by name is not necessary; yet fans can follow the link to see this scam of a story from The Sun in all its, uh, glory by clicking here. This click-bait angle is not even explained, justified or followed up within the infamous media company's 'article'; describing this 'report' as entry-level journalism would be too kind.
What it actually is, is an abomination. And, people trust yours truly, the Foxes fan base will not appreciate this concoction of an accusation one little bit! So, what happened and what was said exactly?
What happened between Leicester City legend and star?
Essentially, Ghana and England meet in the World Cup on Tuesday, June 23. Jamie Vardy (a Foxes legend and patriot who represented his country) and Abdul Fatawu (currently shining for Black Stars in America) are old teammates who still communicate. Vardy "trusts" his mate Fatawu and wished him well, suggesting he show his best self at the tournament.
"He’s [Vardy] always speaking about the game, and Vardy is one of the guys who really trusts me. “He’s told me to do my thing, and that is why I can’t wait for the opportunity to show everyone what I can do."Fatawu on Vardy
​The former Fox's heartfelt remark was twisted by The Sun to imply a disloyal, traitorous narrative, despite Fatawu clearly stating that 'JV9's' encouragement served as pure professional guidance. To take a moment of mentorship between two friends and contort it into a tabloid controversy is as pathetic as it is predictably disingenuous.
Players and National Team heroes deserve far better than being used as pawns in such a cynical game of insincere readership strategy. The story even states that Fatawu was an unused substitute versus Panama when he massively influenced the game.
The current Fox's remark, which is shown below in full, was twisted by The Sun to state this:
