Available for over a year

Could England's Euros campaign be overshadowed by the controversy over the players taking the knee to highlight racial injustice? Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan, Nesta McGregor and the Independent's chief football writer Miguel Delaney explore and explain the arguments around England's pre-match gesture. FA CEO Mark Bullingham condemns the booing as "incredibly disappointing" and plans video messaging at Wembley but Conservative MP Tom Hunt thinks England should find a new way to get their anti-racism message across.
