Here is the original post:

/r/ChelseaFC will be shutting down for 24 hours tomorrow, June 5th, beginning at 12:00 am BST (GMT 1).

The death of George Floyd was a showcase of modern discrimination against minorities, and we as a mod team believe we as a fanbase should join the Club and unify to take a stand for equality. Even though the most recent spark was in America, protests are being held around the world (including Chelsea's home, London). They are also being held by a number of subreddits on this site, in solidarity for the protesters and in protest against reddit's policy apathy.

Chelsea is a large, successful club with a huge and diverse fanbase. This is a minor gesture on our part, but we hope it can be a sign of unity and support for our fellow fans and fellow humans.

This is a topic which deeply affects the Club. Chelsea has also long had a history and reputation of racism and discrimination amongst a sect of our fanbase. The club has worked hard to combat this head on, with a tough stance on fans caught carrying out racist behaviour and organising programs and friendlies to combat discrimination.

This post is to give you notice and we hope you understand our decision. If you don't, we hope reading the links throughout this post will open your mind, and the 24 hours away from this subreddit will give you a chance for self-contemplation.
