What's going on in the football league?
Last week, nearly every player, pundit, captain and manager were wearing BLM badges and kneeling in support. All the players gave up their names and had "Black lives matter" on their shirts instead. Anybody that said that the football league wasn't in total support of the BLM movement, you'd have sent for mental treatment.
Now, quote from The Mail, "The Premier League said it recognised 'the importance of the message that black lives matter' but made clear that it 'does not endorse any political organisation or movement, nor support any group that calls for violence or condones illegal activity' ". Badges and slogans seem to have disappeared. basically, they seem to be distancing themselves from the BLM movement.
Who's side are they on? Should we boycott them for not supporting BLM anymore after their insincere token show, or boycott them because they do?
Are they implying that BLM is violent and illegal? Even our leader Kier Starmer seems to be back-tracking on his support just like the Premier League when he called it a 'shame' that the sentiment behind the Black Lives Matter protests was getting 'tangled up with these organisational issues' and said calls to defund the police were 'nonsense.' Doesn't he know that BLM is about toppling the capital system, not about race or colour. Surely, he's completely wrong, when even Greta Thunberg has joined BLM now.
