Borussia Dortmund and England winger Jadon Sancho was one of the players to show support for George Floyd last weekend

It has been reported that the German Football Association is considering disciplinary action against Sancho, as well as others, for a technical breach of the game’s laws. Under Law 4 Section 5, players are not supposed to have slogans, statements or images that could be deemed political on their kit or other equipment.However, Fifa has urged governing bodies applying those laws to “use common sense and have in consideration the context surrounding the events”.

How about when Saudi money is pumped into the league, will Kick It Out ask players to take knee against Saudi atrocities in Yemen?

Illinois governor says Trump has been a 'miserable failure' over handling of George Floyd protests‘This inflammatory rhetoric is bad for the country’ The governor has an interesting point of view, considering 22 people were murdered in Chicago last weekend! Tell me again who the miserable failure is...... Is he a democrat? Lol and Floyd was killed in a Democrat controlled city in a Democrat controlled state. Your Democrat mayor who has the power to appoint the chief of police was slow to respond and can’t even pull some strings. Most cities that were burning are under Demcrats. But hey blame Trump
