This afternoon marks the first game in the Barclays Women's Super League during Black History Month, and Clubs have been offered the option to take the knee ahead of kick-off.
Please see the following statement from our captain Bethany England:
“As players, we have chosen to not take the knee before kick-off this afternoon. Instead, we will stand up against racism.
"I have spoken to my team-mates at length, and we agree that taking the knee no longer feels meaningful. We are still seeing prejudice and racism, and there is so much more that everyone should be doing. This is not a tick box – this is people’s lives, people’s feelings. It needs to change.
