Wrexham soccer players remove offensive social media posts about King Charles during his cancer fight.

The recent actions of two Wrexham footballers, Paul Mullin and James McClean, have sparked controversy on social media. The pair came under fire for posting anti-monarchy messages directed at King Charles, who is currently battling cancer. These posts have since been deleted, but not before causing quite a stir.

The Wrexham squad has been enjoying a post-season trip to Las Vegas, all thanks to their Hollywood owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The team has been on cloud nine after securing back-to-back promotions, and this trip is their well-deserved reward. The players have been living it up, attending events such as the launch of the third season of 'Welcome to Wrexham' and even catching a highly anticipated boxing match.

While some players have been sharing highlights from the trip, Mullin and McClean's posts took a controversial turn. Mullin shared a photo of the pair with a caption that read, "And we hate the f****** King!" McClean, a vocal Republican, shared the same photo with the added words, "We serve no king or kaiser but Ireland! Sue me." These posts were met with backlash and have since been deleted.

McClean, however, stood by his words and even admitted to singing anti-monarchy chants during the team's promotion celebrations last month. When asked about it, he responded, "Is this correct? Absolutely. Do I make any apologies for doing so? Absolutely not." The 35-year-old is known for his strong stance against the monarchy and his refusal to wear a poppy during games played during Remembrance weekend.

Mullin, on the other hand, has previously expressed his dislike for the Royals in his autobiography, My Wrexham Story. He shared his thoughts on a visit from King Charles to the club in 2022, saying, "I've no interest in royalty. I don't see why anyone should have the God-given right to be born into such wealth, and then for us to pay for them as well. It just comes down to basic fairness."

Despite the controversy surrounding the footballers' posts, King Charles has made a public appearance last week after making progress in his treatment. Wrexham, on the other hand, has had a remarkable journey under the ownership of Reynolds and McElhenney. The team went from being a non-league side to securing back-to-back promotions in just two years.

McElhenney expressed his joy at the team's success, saying, "It's been a magical season. It's been an incredible year and this was just the icing on the cake." He also mentioned their conversation with coach Phil Parkinson, who had predicted their success early on. The team is now preparing to compete in League One next season, with the possibility of playing in the Premier League in just two years. It's an exciting time for Wrexham, and their Hollywood owners couldn't be prouder.
