Players in Serie A are taking knees when scoring. When Nkoulou scored for Torino, sveral of his team mates took knees before him.

They do matter. But it's en entirely different problem. If you look over the past few years many who were brutally arrested and sometime killed by white policemen were just regular dudes with no history of violence. In life solving one problem generally helps a lot to solves other problem like the black gang violence.
The EPL likes to paint Italy as a racist country but they are just as bad. There have been many flagrant fouls against black players that English referees ignore. The most spectacular one was ManUnited's John O'Shea drop kicking Didier Droga in the stomach - and Drogba got a yellow card for embellishment?!
The EPL is also the headless chicken league.

I couldnt agree more, there is a separate forum where this can be discussed by the lunatics of the right and left on this site, in fact I
Back to our regularly scheduled programming aka Liverpool's March To The Title! now within 2 points of a title that I last recall when I was just getting into high school! This team is magnificent and will go down as one of the greats in English league history, just up and down the list is a list of international superb talent.
Indeed. Well said.
Now we can continue the healthy conversation whereupon all concerned are informed and aware of the decaying frailty of the EPL and the advanced superiority of the Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga.
Salud!
Back to racism in England. Here's an interesting article about a player named Linford Harris who was banned for six matches for protesting racial abuse.

And the example of the infamous scissor tackle against black players. Emmanuel Adebayor, Sylvain Wiltord and Rahim Sterling were all on the receiving end of one, no card or warning given. In Serie A, due to Paolo Rossi's career being ended by one, a scissor tackle is an automatic red card.
It's easy to pick on Cagliari. The city has a class divide between the prosperous urbanites and the poor rural north of the city. If Italy is so racist why did Lukaku and Smalling request that their loans be made permanent? The FIGC has taken steps to counter racism, racist chants are dealt with point deductions for the club they support. Roma paid ManU's asking price, not sure about Lukaku. I used to think he was soft...nothing wrong with chicken feet.

Reports have surfaced about the person who commissioned the banner flyover. Apparently he's a Burnley supporter and has been handed a lifetime ban from attending any future Burnley games. And, according to some local sources, he's been fired from his job at a local engineering company.
When has a club been given a point deduction or a substantial fine by the FIGC? All I have seen are joke fines, there are clubs who have large supporter bases in fact one Lazio seems to revel in its bigotry. England is far from a paradise of tolerance, but you saw the turmoil that one jackass caused by flying a plane and it was met with a life time ban.
Because Serie A is a slow and old retirement league where even Lukaku and Smalling look good
Really so how come all conquering Liverpool could not beat Napoli over two legs?
Of course those Blacks killing Blacks will serve Justice when they are arrested and convicted. We have also seen Whites killing Whites as well. That is called crime and they are pursued until Justice is served. But the Police are supposed to uphold the law and not be part of the crime. The manner in which they have got away with it over the years, only means that it has to end, as racism is a cause for concern!!
Why is BLM divisive? The players are not protesting about having it on their shirts. They all kneel in a very brief respect, as we have seen the racism even in the EPL over the years. What is wrong with addressing it?
Well, Liverpool got really spanked by Watford just prior to the Covid-19 Lockdown. They have had many injuries and now that they have a full squad to pick on, it looks like they are going to breeze past the line to claim the EPL title after such a long draught. But Liverpool won the Champions League last season. Is Napoli likely to do the same this season?
Well a 30 year wait has finally come to an end! now we can put to rest the idea that the EPL isnt the most competitive top league, 5 different clubs have won in the last 8 years, how does La Liga, Serie and Bundesliga stack up? yeah that's what I thought 
The EPL has had a very good run since Euro96, but what happens after a No deal Brexit?
India and the PRC have long memories, they want to own Britain, not trade with it. The EPL could become an entirely foreign owned league. Then there's the Bosman Rule and UEFA Domestic Rules. Here's an example, under current rules, Erik Pierre Aubemeyang qualifies as a domestic under three European countries. His full names are ,Pierre,Emerick, Emiliano, Francois a true international player. Unfortunately for him, if he stays in the EPL, he's just Gabonesse, requiring a work permit. Take into consideration that the EPL has driven up the cost of doing business, I don't see UEFA playing nice with them in regards to work permits. The good part is EPL clubs will become more reliant on UK and Irish players. That could help the Three Lions considerably, they are on a Leafs level of futility run.

Yes, a lot of talk over here about protecting businesses from overseas buyers snapping up bargain price assets, particularly buyers coming from China.
And yes it would be good to see more home grown talent in the EPL.
Not sure you can compare the England team to the Leafs though as they got to the semi finals of the last World Cup and were only narrowly beaten by Croatia.
If you can fly a banner or wear a shirt that says: ALL LIVES MATTER, you can also fly a banner or wear a shirt that says: ALL RACES MATTER.
Then it's not 'divisive', correct.
