Premier League to replace Players’ names with ‘Black Lives Matter’ upon resumption
Premier league players will wear shirts with the inscription; Black lives matter instead of their usual surnames at the start of the league.
The shirt tribute was proposed by a group of league captains and Professional Footballers’ Association representatives following the series of Black Lives Matter protests which were triggered by the loss of George Floyd.
The players had agreed on this in a joint announcement insisting they stand against discrimination.
The Premier League supported the players’ wishes, adding: “The Premier League stands alongside players, clubs, the FA, EFL, PFA, LMA, PGMOL and all those who oppose discrimination in any form
