Commonsense approach taken to protests by Fifa after American Football outrage

FIFA and the FA will be taking a commonsense approach to players protesting against racism on the pitch once the Premier League resumes on June 17th.

Chelsea and Newcastle were the latest clubs to take the knee in training in protest at the killing of black citizen George Floyd by a US police officer in Minnesota. In 2016, then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick famously knelt during the national anthem to protest police ​brutality before an American Football game.

Former Manchester City player Nedum Onouha, who plays with Salt Lake in the MLS, has said he doesn’t feel 100 percent safe in the USA.

Meanwhile Premier League clubs will be allowed to play friendly matches before the season restarts on June 17th.

The friendlies can be played at stadiums or training grounds, but must be under strict restrictions.

Social distancing measures and hygiene protocols will be in place and referees will not take charge of the games.
