Sky Sports allowed their pundits to decide whether to wear Black Lives Matter badges before going on air last night - with Patrice Evra ditching his first, before Jamie Redknapp followed suit, MailOnline can reveal today. Redknapp and Evra along with host Kelly Cates and commentator Gary Neville were not wearing the badges during Sky's coverage of Brighton and Hove Albion v Manchester United in the Premier League last night. It came after the Premier League distanced itself from the movement, but players in yesterday's match still 'took the knee' before kick-off and had 'Black Lives Matter' on their sleeves after George Floyd's death in the US in May.

Patrick Evra is originally from Africa who moved to France and became a soccer star.

The cause has been widely supported across football and the wider sporting world by TV and media stars, but that all changed on Sunday when BLM UK issued a barrage of tweets over Israel's proposed annexation of the West Bank and claimed that 'mainstream British politics is gagged of the right to critique Zionism.'

Somehow it always come for the Jews.

Thank You for the post.

The mast always falls off.

Good for them.

Hmmm, I might start watching the Premier League again if this trend continues.

Note it took real Africans to start fighting back. BLM is a product of African-Americans, and most Africans want nothing to do with them. Good for Patrice!

This could be the crack in the dike before the flood.

Somebody defies BLM publicly and survives afterward?

This could be the crack in the dike...

What does this have to do with Megan Rapinoe’s butt?

(Yeah, I know, “dike” not “dyke”, I just couldn’t resist the pun :-)

When will Republicans as a party grow a pair and do something similar?

Scratch a leftist and you’ll always find a raving antisemite.

Well, I would not associate myself with antisemites.

Many companies have gone woke with this stuff need to take note.

[elcid1970]

The days when being antisemitic branded one as neo-Nazi are long gone. There’s no stigma anymore.

It’s OK to be anti-Israel even though Israel is the same small nation outnumbered hundreds to one by hostile Arab neighbors. Being pro-Israel will get one labeled as “Islamophobic” (so what’s wrong with that?).

The antisemitism of Muslims is now “a search for justice in the region”. Huh?

And the wild out of control antisemitism of BLM is simply ignored.

I learned that McDonald’s, Inc. supports BLM. That’s my last Big Mac forever, and I wrote & told them that.

If Biden is elected, it will be March 1933 in this country.

Good for them for not supporting: BlackWhite (globalist-Communist-billionaire) Lives Matter (Only).
