Yes. Sports stars often wear a ribbon, arm band, poppy or some such to express their support of things they feel strongly about.

Would you agree that when they represent England in the world cup next year; they won't show support for the oppressed women in Qatar and for the poor working conditions for the workers who built the stadiums.

If you want to argue that it is a political statement and you need to keep politics out of sport - then why did Matt Hancock specifically call out footballers to take a wage cut?

I don't think he was right to ask that. Do remember that Arsenal made low wage employees redundant and it was only pressure that Liverpool and Tottenham didn't do the same.
The top 4 leagues should also not be asking for help from the government.

Listen to Harry Kane interview on the BBC last week, he is a full on supporter of the BLM movement - he says there is more we need to do. Has he gone down in your estimation?
You probably don't like him anyway as you're a renty boy.
I don't mind Harry.. yet I don't agree with Frank Lampard taking the knee. In fact Im embarrassed that he hasn't said to his whole staff, do what you think best.
Think for your self.
As for the Chelsea fans clapping the knee I'm equally embarrassed.
The only reason you won't have a revolt when crowds are back is the fear of loosing their season tickets.

I'm more a cricket and rugby fan but I do like Harry Kane - he conducts himself well as a captain on and off the pitch.
TBH whenever I watch a match I make sure I start 5 minutes in, I cannot be bothered with any of the preamble.
Unlike cricket and RUgby where there is action from the first second.

No excuse for being Bigoted.
Not that I'm really bothered or PC.
However not all the Village people were Gay. And I didn't know that about the Village. Thank you I will look at why.

I gave up my season Ticket in I think 1999. Frank Labouf was moaning that he was no Dogs body earning only £20000 per week. what was I cheering his name behind the goal, a rent boy maybe
.I like Harry yes he does conduct himself very well. I do think they are overpaid and (Some players and managers) need to get there own house in order before they start preaching to us.
No.

We need more black politicians and those on our TV speaking like that. Diane Abbot and Dawn Buttler just add to the problem
Dion Dublin hasn't helped at all. I like the man for what ever reason from his Cambridge days to Home under the hammer always spoke sense until now!!!

Do these people think they will ever extinguish racism with this language and lack of respect.
