EPL to remove BLM badges for 20/21 season
To be replaced by No Room For Racism badge. Statement reads is part:
The league released a statement on June 30 saying it did “not endorse any political organisation or movement, nor support any group that calls for violence or condones illegal activity”.
Glad to see this. I was happy BLM was removed from the shirt before Liverpool clinched the title. After thirty years the last thing I wanted to see was BLM crap emblazoned on the shirt when Hendo lifted the trophy! Good for the PL!

Perhaps interestingly, Liverpool (port & ship ind.) played a significant role in the slave trade.

Not nearly as big as that of Lagos. Gotta wonder if the Nigerian teams wear BLM badges?

Maybe Liverpool's badge should read: "Black Lives...We Deliver." then.

Indeed
But if Kamala can be absolved of her family directly owning slaves, my football team can as well.

Imagine how awesome the US would be now if it hadn't been saddled with slavery by Britain.

If the EPL is soccer, I now appreciate soccer for doing this.
