FILE - Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette, center, and other players take a knee before the start of the English Premier League soccer match between Arsenal and Southampton at Emirates stadium in London, Saturday, Dec. 11, 2021. Premier League players will no longer take the knee ahead of every match, but will do so at “significant moments” during the upcoming season in a gesture against racism. The gesture, started in June 2020 to show support for the Black Lives Matter campaign, will now be used more sparingly in order to “amplify the message that racism has no place in football or society."
