State Duma Deputy Igor Lebedev reacted to the refusal of the team of Russian referees to kneel before the return match of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League between Manchester City and Mönchengladbach Borussia. His words are quoted by Sport24.
Lebedev drew attention to the fact that Black Lives Matter, which opposes racism, is an American movement that has not found support in Russia. In his opinion, this is a personal right of every person, and the Russian judges did not violate the UEFA rules. “If they supported BLM humanly, they would kneel down. To inflate a scandal out of this is bullshit, ”the deputy said.
