China will refuse to show this weekend’s scheduled broadcast of English Premier League matches because of the organization’s plans for an effusive support for Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict, according to reports.
The Premier League has stated that it “wholeheartedly rejects Russia’s actions” with several individual clubs also making demonstrations in recent days – particularly Everton and Manchester City, who both flew the Ukrainian flag in advance of their match last Saturday.
Protests were also evident at various other games involving Manchester United, Crystal Palace, Brighton and others.
“We call for peace and our thoughts are with all those who have been impacted,” Premier League chiefs added.
Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich also pledged to support “all victims the war in Ukraine” in his statement earlier this week in which he confirmed rumors that he was to sell his ownership stake in Chelsea.
