We Are Not Taking A Knee Anymore - Angry EPL Players Protest! by SucreSports: 2:13pm On Feb 19, 2021 |
Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha has said that taking a knee before every game is “degrading” and called for tangible change instead of being used to “tick boxes.” Zaha, who has been targeted by online racist abuse, told the On The Judy podcast that action needs to come from the social media platforms. “The whole kneeling down — why must I kneel down for you to show that we matter,” he said. “Why must I even wear Black Lives Matter on the back of my top to show you that we matter? This is all degrading stuff." When people constantly want to get me to do Black Lives Matter talks and racial talks and I’m like, I’m not doing it just so you can put ‘Zaha spoke for us.’ Like a tick box, basically. “I’m not doing any more because unless things change, I’m not coming to chat to you just for the sake of it, like all the interviews I’ve done.” “All these platforms — you see what’s happening, you see people making fake accounts to abuse Black people constantly, but you don’t ... https://nigerbet.net/2021/02/19/taking-the-knee-before-games-is-degrading-we-look-like-puppets-epl-players-lament/

Zaha, see your life go better! For not allowing that dulling to persist in your life, I say once again, wasere! Oyinbos do not mind doing that 'bend a knee' thing for the next 700 years as long as they can go into their houses and cuss the next niggar online, so who's fooling who? English fans are the most racist in the world, imagine telling Bernd Leno, a German and Arsenal goalkeeper to do it like Enke. Enke was the second choice goalkeeper for Germany who jumped in front of a speeding train some years ago. |

his point is dt the EPL are covering racism with this harmless knees practice in each matchdays but do nothing to the real racist online n offline... since this knee stunt started, zaha was racially abused by fans twice and nothing have been done about it.. so he said its better not to go on his knees dt join others pretend asif they are really fighting racism.. |
