Sports league officially removes ‘Black Lives Matter’ badge from team uniforms

It’s happening, folks.

Yes, it’s a baby-step, but it matters.

Premier Soccer League is the first sports organization that has removed the “Black Lives Matter” badge from their uniform.

Premier Soccer League is the first sports organization that has removed the “Black Lives Matter” badge from their uniform.

Yes, they’re still kneeling and doing a bunch of unpopular SJW garbage, but it’s very, very significant that the “BLM” badge has been removed from their uniforms.

The group says that certain positions that BLM holds, like “defund the police,” have proved “uncomfortable” for the league.

This move comes as two police officers in Compton were ambushed and shot in the head by an unknown assailant, and anti-cop protest groups celebrated the shooting by chanting “We hope they die.”

Is this league no longer supporting black supremacy?

Too late if they are. They’ve shown they’re willing to follow the wind and not what’s right.

"Too late if they are."

I agree. As far as I'm concerned they can all go to the fiery inferno where they belong.

Their ratings must be down significantly. And they didn’t have much of any ratings to start off with.

The Dallas Stars are on the verge of making the Stanley Cup finals, and I don’t care.

A year ago, I would have been thrilled.

I THINK in Europe they didn't quite get what this was REALLY all about.

If you see it ... basically they kneel for a moment of silence, and the announcer might say 'they are taking a moment of silence as a unified show of support for the end of racism and for BLM.

I HONESTLY don't think most or any of them know what BLM really is. I mean most Americans don't. (The globalist league owners probably do.) So this is a good step and supports that notion -> and quite frankly, I have NO problem with a league showing solidarity simply against racism or even honoring the fact that slavery etc was wrong and that a struggle for equality under the law followed. If that's all this was, whether it did any good or not, it wouldn't be the time or place in my opinion but wouldn't be a terrible thing.

The black/white balance in international soccer is very different from football and certainly basketball for a whole bunch of reasons - genetic, cultural and historical.

(but also I'm no expert on race relations in the international leagues ... just that the whole thing is a different beast)

Radio news coverage sounded familiar going back to when the same stuff was happening in New York .Where cops were being murdered as the aftermath of Obama using the Bully Pulpit creating racial division defending resisting arrests.

They started to distance themselves after Newcastle Legend Alan Shearer called out BLM for their antisemitism. The logo in the corners disappeared and the sleeve patches are gone this 2020-2021 season. The slogan No Place for Racism are now on the right sleeves.
