Euro 2020: England players to take the knee at Euro 2020, says Gareth Southgate

The Hindu  

England players will take a knee at the European Championship despite fearing an adverse reaction after the anti-racism gesture was booed by their fans before a warm-up game against Austria. RELATED| “I think I was just happy that the boos got cancelled out by the fans cheering in the end, but I don’t think it’s a great situation, especially for us players,” said Phillips, who is Black. “The team spoke about it together and we came up with the conclusion that, regardless of what goes on around, we’re still going to participate in the kneeling and I think that’s a great idea.” The final warmup match before Euro 2020 — against Romania on Sunday — is also being played in the northeast town of Middlesbrough. RELATED| “In essence, people are booing their own team,” England manager Gareth Southgate said on Saturday. “We’re united on that as a full team.” Players started taking a knee last year as part of calls to eradicate racial injustice in society following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
