Burnley football club has apologized and vowed to hand out lifetime bans after a plane carrying a banner reading “White Lives Matter Burnley” was flown over the Etihad stadium ahead of the team’s match with Manchester City this evening.

A private plane bearing the message flew over the stadium in Manchester just moments after both Burnley and City players took a knee to show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

Jake Hepple, a Burnley local, has claimed responsibility for the stunt, sharing a video of the plane to his Facebook along with a refusal to apologize.

Hepple wrote: “I’d like to take this time to apologize … TO ABSOLUTELY F****** NOBODY!

“It’s now apparently racist to say white lives matter (the day after three white people got murdered in a park in Reading, but all we’ve seen on the TV is black lives matter after George Floyd got murdered) what a mad world we live in.”

Other members of the Suicide Squad — a group of hooligan Burnley fans — are thought to have spent the week leading up to Monday’s to crowdfund for the banner and flyover. …

white people today are descendants of white slaves- so do ‘White Lives matter” too? Or do just black lives matter to the left? (Rhetorical question, i know)

it may turn out that there were more white slaves than black slaves- and more white slave descendants today- Where is them oral outrage by the left over that fact, where is their support for white descendants of white slaves?

It's not about slavery or white privilege or police brutality or any other line of nonsense they spout. This is all about marxists using blacks and white fools as tools to put an end to America as we know it.

We must stop them at all costs or I'd hate to be our kids and grandkids. BTW, I'd also hate to be any of the blacks or white fools if the marxists succeed.

Everyone’s ancestors were oppressed (and eaten) by cave bears and saber-toothed tigers.

If All lives don’t matter, then we have a problem. This needs to be understood.

That’s been BLM’s line since they emerged; any college professor or politician that declared “All lives matter” was shouted down with “No, black lives matter!”

It’s the same thing as saying, “Only black lives matter” because they’re excluding everyone else.
