I didn't watch the Final live but didn't hear any on MOTD, was there any? I hope not, particularly not at the showpiece match that the Final is.
As a side issue it always make me laugh if, in the commentary on the gesture, MOTD commentators say the players do it to show that social injustice won't be tolerated. Well, some of those doing it are paid £500k a week so there's at least one social injustice they'll tolerate. (No, that does not mean that footballers can't or shouldn't be anti-racist because of their pay - as role models, they should be. It's merely that the commentators' words when they use that explanation are laughably inaccurate.)
