With the players Liverpool have on Monday in training, makes a clear statement against racism. And the whole squad knelt down, as if in response to the death of George Floyd in the United States of america.
The initiative for a joint statement came from the player base itself, report the British media. Then, the image by, among others, Virgil van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum spread through Twitter, with the accompanying text, “Unity is strength” and #BlackLivesMatter.
The kneel down is inspired by the thought that the NFL player Colin Kaepernick in 2016, has made a protest against the police brutality against non-white Americans in the United States of america. It eventually led to his dismissal from the San Francisco 49ers.
