Twenty "Premier" club footballers agreed that the tradition of taking a knee before matches will continue in the new season. The players insist that this will demonstrate unity against all forms of racism. The leaders of the strongest English championship also expressed their support for this action, reported the BBC. The first "Premier" league match will be played on Friday, August 13. On that day, "Brentford" and "Arsenal" teams will take to the field.
