A joint club statement, issued by club Chairman Mike Garlick and CEO Neil Hart...
Burnley Football Club is opposed to any form of racism and discrimination of any kind.
As custodians of the club, we stand firmly behind the statement condemning the message flown over the Etihad Stadium on Monday night and are fully in support of the words of club captain Ben Mee, delivered after the match.
Black Lives Matter is a movement supported by all players in the Premier League and the league itself.
While we naturally consider that all lives matter, let us be clear that the Black Lives Matter movement aims to overcome years of racial inequality against the BAME community and promote a greater fairness for all.
