Captains (led by Bellerin, Deeney & Coleman) Urge Premier League to Allow Show of Support for Black Lives Matter : Gunners

I’m all for anti racism messaging but this essentially equates to showing support for defunding the US police which is BLM’s goal.

Being totally honest, I’m actually for allowing players to show support of that message, as I am for any political message, but if the Premier League does not allow political messaging then it shouldn’t allow players to publicly support BLM on the pitch.

For anyone interested in learning more about BLM, I urge them to read the founder’s recent AMA on reddit which goes into this in more detail and explains the common misconceptions about the movement, and how they detract from their core aim.
