With the return from the first corona hiatus, in June 2020, the leaders of the Premier League led the famous kneeling as an act of solidarity with the war on racism.
Since then, every game has started like this, and immediately after it comes the opening whistle.
Over time, voices began to rise, mainly from fans, who were fed up with the act in question, and as time went by, teams and players also expressed opposition to it, with the most famous being the black player of Crystal Palace, Wilfred Zaha, who claimed that it was an unnecessary step that does not do the job.
In the Championship, the lower league in England, entire teams stopped cooperating with the act, and now the Premier League leaders have decided to let the players determine the future of kneeling.
The captains of all 20 teams held a meeting on the issue, raised various claims, and did not reach a decision, but did decide that they would meet again after consulting with their other teammates.
The Premier League chiefs are pressuring the captains to bring the meeting forward and make the decision on the issue by the season opener this Friday, when Zaha's Crystal Palace host Arsenal at Selhurst Park.
Some of the players claim that the act "is no longer effective", and it seems that they need widespread support to bring about the abolition of kneeling.
