White lives matter
banner
A banner was seen flying in the air on top of the stadium
with the writings ” white lives matter Burnley ”
Only 9 minutes into the match a helicopter flew over the
Etihad stadium with the intimidating banner especially at this time when there
is a war against racism and the movement of black lives matter.
This followed only few minutes after all players took a knee
in solidarity with the black lives matter movement. All players also worn T-shirts
with the writings ” black lives matter” at the back.
Burnley FC made their statement at halftime saying they had
nothing to do with that banner and will work with authority to make sure that
those behind it are banned from the clubs business permanently.
