The logo on England’s shirts is becoming a symbol of sport’s attempts to distance its own actions in protesting against racial injustice from the organisation that shares the name

England’s cricketers are to wear Black Lives Matter badges on the collar of their shirts during the upcoming Test series against West Indies, calling it an “act of solidarity” with their Caribbean opponents.

Marxist video Picture

Read watch & listen Marxist

Seriously tossers Marxist from usa

I would refuse to play.

Shamefull

Big mistake, you will see losses like, Premier League and F1... Ordinary sheeple who make up the majority of the viewers just want to be able to focus on a ball or a car. You start bringing Marxist politics into it and see what happens

sad sign of the times.... too scared of the backlash to not comply with this.

Bad decision. Far left wing extremist group on their shirts? Surely they can find a better message to denounce racism.

'Use of symbol being distanced from political group' try that with the swastika or the KKK and see how well that goes.

Are we learning nothing?

FFS!

My my my! What a load of tossers, pardon the pun.

petitejean1 God I'm going to vomit

Lol! Our ancestors (and the murdered) are smiling, and dancing in this moment; let the new Black Renaissance begin! Are you with us Latinx? BlackLivesMatter BlackRenaissance

Swastikas next?

Football and cricket are going to be losing patronage from a lot of sports fans as a result of their statements regarding BLM.

just found this from . englandcricket

If the (English) cricket team support BLM they are also supporting HAMAS who funds them and are behind them there not doing themselves any flavours supporting them

So the ECB_cricket are officially an Antisemitic now. Aligning themselves with a Marxist group with racist ideals. Way to go Cricket.

Bloody disgrace ! To quote Thatcher : NO,NO,NO!

It would be nice to keep politics out of sports ......

Well that’s that ruined

Another sport to NOT watch!!

Wear a badge stating to end racism.....I agree......BUT BLM is not the badge they should be wearing

Contemptible

They’ll be apologizing and trying to distance themselves from this decision by the end of the month, if not sooner.

They can all f k off as well then!

Tut tut

Racist antisemitic cricket just what we need NOT.

Yep, a salute to Marxism and the leader of BLM

ill-advised

As expected the Guardian having a major hard-on over this. Imagine if their woke obsessed journalists found out they were going to take the knee as well!

This is wrong on every level

Well they should have the balls to stand up and say “no” ... it just needs one!

Have englandcricket learned nothing?

lol

That’s football and cricket I’ll be boycotting then. God help me if the golfers start taking the knee.

All lives matter. F them.

🤮🤮

Support for any life matters but not a Marxist movement

How farcical a ridiculous attempt to placate for what?to look like idiots

Disgusting

Bad decision

Woke idiots.

So they support defunding the police, allowing prisoners to go free & abolishing capitalism. We have more thick heads of cricket who haven't done their homework.

Disgusting! Surely they’re not that stupid!

They know this group’s policies, and still do this.

futureking57 That's me boycotting it then

I know bajans who joke about being very happy their ancestors got out of Africa ... they are not really joking .. they know they are livingbthe dream . Stop dividing & stirring trouble !!

They stand with BLM and their comments on Palestine?

As if cricket wasn't crap enough as it was 😂

Don’t watch the boring shit. Money for old rope

So, do they consider the 1 indian guy on the Windies cricket team to be black?

That’s me not watching it then. I’ll cancel sky subscription

englandcricket you support ending capitalism and abolishing the police? What the hell are you doing?!?

MandyGiltjes 🙄

So the English cricket team hate capitalism and Jews ?

An excellent decision and worthy cause.

The English cricket team want to abolish the police, close prisons and release all offenders, end one person one vote, end capitalism, decriminalise all drugs and destroy the family unit. Rest in peace English cricket.

ECB_cricket are deluded if they think they can separate that slogan from the politics of the BLM organisation. I really hope players do not take the knee. Play cricket together and show the world racism is foolish, as cricket has done all my life so well.

Pathetic.... I shall not watch or even follow cricket whilst this divisive racist nonsense persists....

That’s disgusting

ECB_cricket supporting political movements tut tut, just like the premierleague you’ll fall on your own sword mark my words

What a set of virtue signalling tossers! Imagine the England Cricket team openly backing an organisation that wants to defund and disband our Police Force! 🙄

Embarrassing

jonathanpaine2 For crying out loud. When is this bollox going to stop.

Huge error of judgement. No more cricket for me and the same goes for F1 and Premier League football.

Good grief . Virtue signalling at its finest.

You sure? Checked your source? Or are you on the sauce? Because:

You would have thought they would have learnt!

Glad to see the English Cricket Team supporting anti-semtism anti-capitalism and anti-police organisations. 🙄

Some people will be making a lot of money out of it....... 😉

They are stupid and blm is a professed Marxist organization whose intentions have little for rights for anyone

Shame there won’t be any spectators who can be fleeced for £6 per watered down pint from a plastic glass. The ECB_cricket hasn’t a clue who or what their audience is. They don’t care about this nonsense.

Pathetic

Shocking and pathetic.

They just don’t learn, do they?

Pathetic.

This logo, Its associated hash-tag and the shear volume of exposure these racist, anti-semitic, democracy hating thugs are getting is really, really starting to offend me. How do you feel about BLM

BrexitCommander It won't be on my TV then.

BLM destroying our World

Why can’t sport stay the fuck out of politics.

Why don't they wash their feet before the start. In public, with sympathetic pained faces and guilt ridden tears.

Absolute morons.

I bet these cricketers never expected to be forced to wear communist badge.

They want Marxism & no police

Won’t watch that then!

Cricketers should not get into all these poltical stuffs.... Everyone's lives matter.... Whether they r white, brown, pale.. Or black...... 😃

Pathetic.

Logo 'created by the designer Alisha Hosannah, partner of Watford’s captain Troy Deeney'. Bubble is as bubble does. No equal ops there, eh?

I have an immediate aversion to anything with a clenched fist in it, sorry. Though it's good they're distancing themselves from the organisation, I just think a different slogan might, after all this, be more unifying and progressive. Don't divide us.

Yuck.

Hahaha.... White.. Brown... Pale.... Black all lives matter..... Not only Black 😃😄

These are all just token gestures and are completely meaningless. What are you actually doing to help black people if you care so much? I, like many others I am sure, would like to know.

Unacceptable with that logo! Have they gone mad?!

WTF

I get that in the sporting context it makes sense but this is an oddly worded headline.

Thats discusting whats the matter with these people

Shameful!!! Terrorist organization

Shameful..after tweeting that anti-Semitic tweet in the week...just unbelievable

A fantastic show of solidarity and a catalyst to Britain's effort to alter the manner in which it is perceived in a region where it was once a brutal oppressor. Each country must highlight its past and condemn it, to help shape the values of its restructured national identity

'Unnecessary'

That awesome move for unity in world.👍👍👍
