Brentford players to stop taking a knee before matches



Brentford have announced that their players will no longer be taking a knee before the start of matches, and will instead focus on other methods of fighting racial inequality.

Players have been taking a knee since July, initially in support of the 'Black Lives Matter' movement before the Premier League and English Football League linked the gesture to their own anti-racism campaigns.

Brentford confirmed that Sunday's home game against Barnsley would be the first match in which they do not perform the gesture.

A club statement released by the squad read: "As a group of players, we have decided we will no longer take a knee before the start of matches. This will begin when we face Barnsley tomorrow, Sunday 14 February.

"This decision has come after lengthy discussions as a group. We have been taking a knee before games since June but, like many of our fellow players at other clubs, no longer believe that this is having an impact. We believe we can use our time and energies to promote racial equality in other ways.

"As a group we are fully behind and proud of Brentford’s desire to become the most inclusive club in the country and the drive towards equality under the #BeeTogether banner.

Good for them.
Hopefully this will trickle down to other clubs.
