Premier League could follow Lionesses and stop taking the knee before matches

The England Lionesses have decided to stop taking the knee before matches, a gesture that has been used to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement. This decision has sparked a division among anti-racism campaigners, and the Premier League is now considering following suit. The Premier League is planning to consult with club captains before the start of the new season to gather their feedback on the issue. A decision will then be made based on the input received during the annual pre-season meeting. The article suggests that the Premier League could potentially stop the practice of taking the knee, which has been a common sight in matches over the past few years. The move by the Lionesses and the potential shift in the Premier League reflects the ongoing debate surrounding the effectiveness and future use of this symbolic gesture in the fight against racism.
