Premier League players were back taking the knee in a show of solidarity as part of the ‘No Room for Racism’ campaign over the last fortnight.
The gesture became part of the fabric of football for a two-year period following the death of George Floyd in May 2020 and the subsequent Black Lives Matter movement, yet its impact soon diminished.
Clusters of fans up and down the country began booing the gesture, while some black players stopped taking the knee due to the lack of real work going on behind the scenes to address the issues being protested about.
