Sky Sports pundit Patrice Evra led the way in DITCHING Black Lives Matter badge just before last night's show and Jamie Redknapp and host Kelly Cates followed his lead as Premier League distances itself following group's extreme statements

Sky Sports allowed their pundits to decide whether to wear Black Lives Matter badges on air last night - with Patrice Evra taking his off first, before Jamie Redknapp followed suit, MailOnline can reveal today.

Redknapp and Evra along with host Kelly Cates and commentator Gary Neville were not wearing the badges during Sky's coverage of Brighton and Hove Albion v Manchester United in the Premier League last night.

It came after the Premier League distanced itself from the movement, but players in yesterday's match still 'took the knee' before kick-off and had 'Black Lives Matter' on their sleeves after George Floyd's death in the US in May.
