World soccer governing body, FIFA, has asked competition organisers to use “common sense” with players who display messages of protest over the death of George Floyd.FIFA regulations barred players from displaying any “political, religious or personal slogans, statements or images” on their kit. Since 2014, this ban had included undershirts — a response to players lifting up their shirts to display a message when scoring.
Schalke 04 defender Weston McKennie, displayed the same message on his armband in another game while Borussia Moenchengladbach’s Marcus Thuram knelt to honour Floyd after scoring against Union Berlin.The German Football Association said it was reviewing the incidents where the message was shown. It added that applying the laws of the game was the responsibility of competition organisers, such as domestic leagues, who FIFA said “should use common sense and have in consideration the context surrounding the events.
