It dates back to the ending ofAvengers: Endgame,where an elderly Steve Rogers passed on his Star-studded shield to Falcon stating that he is the ideal successor. This move was a surprise to many of the fans and also received appreciation about how Falcon received the title and not Winter Soldier which was also justified in many ways.

Quite unexpectedly, our New Cap is caught amid controversy as a reputed news portal refused to acknowledge Sam Wilson. As soon as it caught the attention of the wide Fandom, they didn’t give it any second thought and came in to defend the new Cap. It was very clear to the fans what is the realsubtexthidden behind this.
The Fans Draw Shields to defend the new Captain America:
It has always been the Captain drawing his shield to protect his the people from dangers and catastrophes but now it’s time for them to repay and they successfully do so by defending Sam Wilson from this new injustice by a news outlet that still refers to him as some sidekick to the MCU big bosses. According to the fans, it can’t be so difficult to call him Captain America:

Really does feel like there’s some subtext here when they not only can’t say the name but also very randomly call him a sidekick.

It’s a little on the nose for them to be subconsciously refusing to just call him Captain America. Did they even watch the show?

The really awkward run around is so weird. “He will be playing sam but sam wont be the sidekick falcon” like, just say he is captain america its literally not that hard

The fans are enraged by this move and also equally upset about the demeaning nature of the article and the subtext beneath it. Moreover standing in the 21st Century, the public platforms do need to take responsibility regarding what they speak about and how they speak about hat respective topics.
You can stream all the episodes of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier on Disney+.
