Arsenal, Spurs Want Clubs To Kneel For Black Lives Matter 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Jun 10, 2020 5:02 pm

Arsenal and Tottenham are among the Premier League clubs ready to back a widespread show of support for the Black Lives Matter movement when matches resume next week.

The Football Association have already said that they would not automatically punish any players who publicly declared support.

Tottenham are likely to back calls for a league-wide initiative which may include encouraging players to replace handshakes -- currently banned due to social distancing measures to tackle the coronavirus pandemic -- with an opportunity to take a knee, as several top-flight clubs did in Germany before last weekend\'s Bundesliga games.
