[BBC] Premier League players' names will be replaced on the back of their shirts with 'Black Lives Matter' for the first 12 matches of the restarted season.
The Premier League will also support any player who chooses to 'take a knee' before or during matches.
Players in Germany have made gestures of solidarity with people protesting about the death of George Floyd.
"We, the players, stand together with the singular objective of eradicating racial prejudice," read a statement.
In a joint message from all 20 clubs, players added that they were committed to "a global society of inclusion, respect, and equal opportunities for all, regardless of their colour or creed".
A Black Lives Matter badge will feature on all playing shirts for the rest of the season alongside a badge thanking NHS staff for their work during the coronavirus outbreak....

From the puff piece: No police reports filed about use of weapons to extort Capitol Hill businesses, Best says
Best is Police Chief Carmen. Note the lawyerly phrasing: no reports filed. If I was being extorted by armed thugs in a section of the city abandoned by the cops, filing a police report wouldn't be the first thing on my To Do list.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Twitter Saturday "temporarily restricted" the account of Qais al-Khazali, leader of an Iran-backed Iraqi militia, for the second time in less than a year. Al-Khazali, the head of the Asaib Ahl al-Haq militia,

had his account "temporarily restricted" last December because of "unusual activity," Twitter said at the time. On Saturday, the same message appeared on his account, warning visitors before they proceeded to his page.
Shortly before his account was temporarily restricted last year, a batch of US sanctions targeted al-Khazali and his brother Laith al-Khazali, another leader of the Asaib Ahl al-Haq.
