Will no longer be carried out in the Premier League....

What initiative will they be replacing it with :O

 

[Blue Til Death]

The way the world is going these days it will be replaced with self flagellation….

I don't even notice when they do it now, so it's definitely run its course.
It was supposed to highlight the fight against racism,but it lost most of its impact at least a season ago.

Yeah, I'd agree. The impact of doing it has diminished now. It was a great idea, for a great cause, when it was introduced. The campaign needs to carry on, but with some new ideas.

In a statement, the league said: "The Premier League supports the players' decision and, alongside the clubs, will use these opportunities to elevate anti-racism messaging as part of the League's No Room for Racism Action Plan."

Players will take the knee during this weekend's opening games of the season, at dedicated No Room for Racism matches in October and March, Boxing Day fixtures after the World Cup has finished, the last day of the season and the FA and EFL cup finals

Footballers to no longer take the knee before every Premier League game

The captains of the league's 20 clubs have instead agreed to use specific moments during the campaign to take the knee "to amplify the message that racism has no place in football or society".

A simple peaceful 5 second knee to show support and remind morons not to be racist and discriminatory really seemed to wind some people up

And it did it’s job well until it continued to be done without any discussion. This is where it ran its course and targeted games will be far more impactful moving forwards.
