The recent Sammy England controversy was an unfortunate one. Although it was controversial, it was a small move. While Allardyce was on a PS3 million a year deal with the FA, the sloppy pub talk and transfer speculation was not the cause of the controversy. His employers are not to be underrated for the embarrassment he has caused.
Darren Sammy has made a point of highlighting the Black Lives Matter movement. It was no coincidence that the West Indies won a Test match against England. This is a significant achievement in international cricket. The West Indies were playing under challenging circumstances, as they were the only team with a black captain. This added to their motivation. Sammy, a black captain has a powerful voice.
