- Chair Sanjay Bhandari wants protests at Premier League games
- Liverpool squad take a knee at Anfield training
The chairman of Kick It Out has urged every Premier League footballer to protest against the killing of George Floyd by police by taking a knee when the season resumes this month and has said the Football Association should not punish players who use their platforms to call for social change.
On a day when Liverpool’s players and coaching staff went down on one knee in the Anfield centre circle to express solidarity with those protesting against Floyd’s death, Sanjay Bhandari said there was nothing political about footballers standing against racism.
