To repeat. What is it footballers want to come out of this gesture and how are they going to effect the necessary changes?

Greater racial equality in football according to Andros’s dad. Probably keep on campaigning and keeping the issue in the spotlight.

It’s using their platform to highlight a massive issue in society. Of course they can’t effect the change themselves, as much as Marcus Rashford is doing amazing things single handedly. It’s forcing the entire country to have a long overdue uncomfortable conversation. Would love to watch some dads try explain to their kids why they’re booing the knee. ‘That bloody Karl Marx’.

They are having a laugh.

What they mean is that they want more Black people in material jobs, despite the fact that there are only a small percentage of Black people in the country. It's not enough that 25% of PL footballers are Black, 20% or more than the Black population as a whole.

Your arguing has reduced to schoolboy level.

If they paid their income tax they’d be more likely to help issues in society.

Their salaries are PAYE. I work with football clubs and the inspector at HMRC who heads up the football department. They pay their taxes.

HMRC and players have an accepted % of what constitutes image rights. Ironically it’s the lower league players trying to take the p*ss rather than the superstars.
