Liverpool taking a knee in the middle of the pitch at Anfield on Monday in solidarity of George Floyd was yet another reminder of how sport – and the actions of those in it – can send a powerful message.
Floyd's killing has sparked protests across the globe and the sporting world has been no different in taking a stand against racism.
And it is by no means the first time sport has found its voice. From Jesse Owens winning four gold medals at the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936 in Nazi Germany to Colin Kaepernick refusing to stand for the US national anthem as a statement against racial oppression in 2016, it has a long history of making itself heard.
