Sky Sports pundits Jamie Redknapp and Patrice Evra DITCH their Black Lives Matter badges on TV after Premier League distanced themselves from the organisation

Former Premier League stars Jamie Redknapp and Patrice Evra were not wearing Black Lives Matter badges during tonight's coverage of Brighton v Manchester United.

Since the league resumed, guests appearing on Sky Sports have worn badges with the campaign phrase after all 20 clubs agreed to use the slogan on their shirts for the first round of games following the Covid-19 break.

However, as Brighton took on Manchester United, the former Liverpool and Manchester United players were not wearing the badge, amid suggestions Sky and pundits are distancing themselves from the organisation.

The Premier League has distanced itself from Black Lives Matter and said it 'does not endorse' the group after pundit Matt Le Tissier said he only wore their badge on TV after being asked to by Sky Sports bosses.
