FA says it supports players who take the knee
‘We do not see taking the knee as a political symbol’

The Football Association has chosen not to take disciplinary action against Millwall or Colchester after sections of their crowd booed players taking the knee.

Millwall’s Championship loss to Derby and Colchester’s win over Grimsby in League Two on 5 December were overshadowed by supporters opposing the Black Lives Matter campaign. Despite a strong backlash, the FA has ruled against punishing either club.
