Premier League CEO Explains To British Parliament How ‘Black Lives Matter’ Jerseys Weren’t Political
Premier League CEO Richard Masters defended players' and clubs' collective decision to support the Black Lives Matter movement on Tuesday, describing it as a moral cause and not a political one.
When the league restarted this month after a three-month stoppage due to the coronavirus pandemic, all players had "Black Lives Matter" on their shirts instead of their names in the opening round of games and they have continued to take a knee before kick-off in support of BLM.
