   It was funny a few years ago when the English Premier League was all moralistic, having players “take the knee” before matches in solidarity with social justice, meanwhile all the stadiums and team shirts and television broadcasts were abound with online gambling ads and sponsorships.

      They didn't "have" players "take the knee", they just didn't stop them. It's called freedom.

         Freedom as long as it’s a cause officially sanctioned by the league.

            Which cause did players want to support but were forbidden from?

               Probably Palestine related issues. Can they even talk about that stuff there without getting arrested?
