"Racism is everywhere, even in Football" - Andre Gray

"I'm three people in this country. And that's either a footballer, a rapper or a drug dealer. These are the facts," Gray said

Andre Gray says protests in the UK are not only about the death of George Floyd, but about "systematic racism that is everywhere".

Black Lives Matter protests have swept through the United States since, and while there have also been protests in the UK, Watford forward Gray says they are not just about the injustice suffered by Floyd, but about systematic racism the world over.

"It's not just about George Floyd and the brutality that is going on in America. It is about what is going on in England and the rest of the world," Gray told the Guardian. "I feel we are lucky we don't have armed police officers on the street because we are still stereotyped and judged by these police officers over here, just the same [as in the US].

"I can't even count how many times I've been pulled over. I can't count how many times I've gone to a club and not got in, how many times a security guard has followed me round a shop.
