The league issued a statement after its chief executive Richard Masters was grilled by British lawmakers at a hearing on Tuesday about its support for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. At the hearing of the Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) Committee, Masters defended players' and clubs' collective decision to wear 'Black Lives Matter' on their shirts, describing the cause as a moral one. When the league restarted this month after a three-month stoppage due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all players had "Black Lives Matter" on their shirts instead of their names in the opening round of games. from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8260652 https://ift.tt/2YMthUr
