England defender Tyrone Mings insists his team will not give up kneeling in support of the Black Lives Matter movement at Euro 2020 after Britain's Home Secretary criticised their "gesture politics". Gareth Southgate's side have been booed by England fans for taking the knee in their last three matches, including Sunday's 1-0 win against Croatia in their first game of the tournament. Asked if England fans were right to boo, she added: "That's a choice for them, quite frankly." England manager Gareth Southgate made it clear before the European Championship that his players would continue to knee regardless of the public reaction. And Aston Villa defender Mings made it clear no amount of political pressure or negative reactions from the stands would stop them.
