Premier League accused of 'double standards' for not holding mosque massacre tribute ahead of games
Premier League clubs wore black armbands and played the French anthem before games after the Paris attacks in 2015.
But despite Six Nations and rugby league matches observing a minute's silence, Premier League, EFL and FA Cup clubs were not required to. Former FA race equality board chair Yunus Lunat told the BBC: "There is no excuse, whenever something has happened, not even on the same scale, football has always come out and paid tribute.
"It is double standards and hypocrisy. To hold a minute's silence was the right thing to do. When it happens for the events, it has to happen across the board for every attack.
