    Burnley 'ashamed and embarrassed' by banner flown above Etihad Stadium during Man City game




    The aircraft circled above Etihad Stadium for several minutes before departingBurnley are "ashamed and embarrassed" by a banner reading 'White Lives Matter Burnley' that was towed by an aeroplane over Etihad Stadium during Monday's match against Manchester City.
    The aircraft circled over the stadium just after kick-off in City's 5-0 win.
    Burnley and City players and staff had taken a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement moments earlier.
    "Fans like that don't deserve to be around football," Clarets skipper Ben Mee told BBC Radio 5 Live.



    Defender Mee added: "We're ashamed, we're embarrassed.
    "It's a minority of our supporters - I know I speak for a massive part of our support who distance ourselves from anything like that.
    "It definitely had a massive impact on us to see that in the sky.
    "We are embarrassed that our name was in it, that they tried to attach it to our club - it doesn't belong anywhere near our club."
    In a statement, Burnley said that the banner "in no way represents" what the club stands for and that they will "work fully with the authorities to identify those responsible and take appropriate action".
    "Burnley strongly condemns the actions of those responsible for the aircraft and offensive banner," the statement added.
    "We wish to make it clear that those responsible are not welcome at Turf Moor.
    "We apologise unreservedly to the Premier League, to Manchester City and to all those helping to promote Black Lives Matter.
    "The club has a proud record of working with all genders, religions and faiths through its award-winning community scheme, and stands against racism of any kind.
    "We are fully behind the Premier League's Black Lives Matter initiative and, in line with all other Premier League games undertaken since Project Restart, our players and football staff willingly took the knee at kick-off at Manchester City."
    Both Burnley and City were wearing shirts with the players' names replaced with 'Black Lives Matter'.
    Since the Premier League resumed on 17 June after a 100-day hiatus because of the coronavirus pandemic, players and officials have been showing their support for the movement for racial equality following the death of George Floyd in the United States last month.
    Floyd, a 46-year-old unarmed black man, died as a white police officer held a knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes. His death sparked protests around the world.
    Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards said seeing the banner was "disheartening".
    "After how far we've come in these last couple of weeks, it really does hurt me," he told Sky Sports.
    "I agree everyone should have free speech but when it looked like everything was on the up there's a small fraction who want to ruin it."
    City and England forward Raheem Sterling said it was a "massive step" that players took a knee in support of Black Lives Matter on the opening night of the top-flight's return.
    Asked about the banner, City boss Pep Guardiola said society could not overturn 400 years of racial injustice in one week but added "we are going to change the situation".
    "We need time, the racism is still there. We have to fight every day and condemn the bad things," he said.

    The plane appeared shortly after players from both teams took a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

    I don't understand. Why do they keep saying that this will be a police matter? If saying Black Lives Matter is fine, then so is saying White Lives Matter. So stupid.

    The worst part is the chick from the post game talking about how Burnley doesnt have any black players and how we need to fight for equality in sports. Would she say the same for white players in the NBA?

    They want to squash any support of White identity.

    Even though everybody believes that Black lives matter (why wouldn't we), that's not enough.

    To even think, much less utter, that White lives matter too, or its OK to be White, is a Hate Crime.

    To defend yourself is a crime.

    That's the world we live in.

    They're too damned SMART to get caught up in crap like this.

    Hell, Japanese & Chinese still hate each other from WW2, but you'd never know it by their behavior.
    They just keep graduating their kids from good colleges and LAUGHING privately at us inferior races.

    WOW. They don't have enough GM's that are black though so that's not right but it's okay for 75% of the players to be black. Is it because the players are good?

    all these white tears in here. You can be proud to be white ,but #whitelivesmatter is a protest to my protest . Whitelives are usually safe when it comes to police brutality. thats what blm is about. Its preprosperous some of you think the blm movement is insinuating black lives is more valuable than white lives. Y ou couldnt be more further away from the truth. Whitemen run America amd have all the power

    I can't imagine any big league is racist towards who they choose to play for them nowadays. It's all about talents. If I owned a team I want talented players and of course guys that aren't dead weight
