Football Fans

Your favourite Premier League team is kicking off soon. You have your pre-match snacks and drinks, you’ve checked the Premier League Odds, and you’re in a prime position in the pub, stadium, or living room. Just before kick-off, the whistle goes and the players take a knee. There are some boos, which are drowned out by a lot of applause. This has actually become a common sight around Premier League grounds and has caused a mixed reaction from fans on social media and in stadia. But why? And is taking the knee a good thing or not?

While we love seeing football stars in all their glory, it is not without its hardships.

At the top level, every game is a battle for survival, and only the strong-minded survive.

So when we hear reports of players using various substances to boost their performances or calm themselves down, it should not come as a surprise.
