West Indies’ star batsman Chris Gayle has joined a list of athletes who have expressed their outrage in the wake of George Floyd’s death in the US. Gayle has said that racism is not there only in football but cricket too, adding that he has faced racial remarks during his travel even within the teams which include a majority of Black men. Taking to his official Instagram profile, Gayle said, “Black lives matter just like any other life! Black people matters. P***k all racists people.

Stop taking black people for fools! Even our own black people, wise tha P***k up and stop bringing down your own ffs!!!”. “Racism is not only in football, it’s in cricket too!! Even within teams as a Black man I get the end of the stick!!! Black Powerful! Black & Proud!” In the United States, the people have come to roads in protest against the death of George Floyd. He died after a white police officer, Derek Chauvin held him down in a hand-cuffed state with a knee on Floyd’s neck, even as the latter repeatedly said, “I can’t breathe.” Earlier, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, NBA legend Michael Jordan and Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford also expressed their outrage over the racial injustice.
