Lee Anderson says he will not watch on Sunday because of players taking the knee but he will check on score
The Conservative MP Lee Anderson will not watch England in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday as he continues his boycott of their matches over the players’ decision to take the knee, but he concedes he will be checking the score on his phone and cheering on the team.
Anderson, the MP for Ashfield in Nottinghamshire, said he would continue to snub the team, having received emails and abuse over his decision not to watch the games after England players began taking the knee before the start of the tournament in a show of solidarity against racism.
