LeBron James has been among the biggest names who have been vocal in support of protests across the United States of America against police racism and racist violence against black citizens. But as the protests have continued to grow across the country, so too have they crossed the pond into Europe and other parts of the country. One day after multiple players in the German Bundesliga showed their support for George Floyd and Black Lives Matter, one of England’s most storied clubs also showed their solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
The entire squad knelt in Anfield's centre circle ahead of today's training session in a powerful show of support for the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

LeBron James, a part-owner of Liverpool, was quick to share the statement from Liverpool, the reigning winners of the UEFA Champions League. James shared it with the club hashtag #YNWA, which stands for “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

In addition to supporting the club in England he has a stake in, LeBron has been instrumental in getting his teammates and fellow NBA-mates in formation for the cause at hand.
