"Premier" league team captains are discussing an important decision. As the new season approaches inexorably, English clubs must decide whether players will continue to briefly kneel before matches, trying to draw attention to the problem of racism. As reported by the BBC, team captains have already held one meeting, although no unanimous decision was reached. The next meeting will take place when footballers discuss a possible decision with their teammates. The tradition of kneeling in the "Premier" league was introduced in June 2020, but now, according to many players, it has lost its significance and attention should be drawn to the problem in other ways.
