WSL players to resume taking knee after Jess Carter abuse prompted refusal

The Women's Super League (WSL) players will resume taking the knee during selected October games, after the England Lionesses stopped the gesture during the European Championship. The decision to stop came after the abuse directed at England player Jess Carter, who was targeted with racist comments online. This move raised concerns that the ubiquity of the gesture had reduced its impact. The announcement of the resumption of the knee-taking comes after the first of several expected arrests related to the abuse against Carter.
