Some people don't just read anymore here on NL before the commenting... or is it comprehension issues... embarassed?

I thought I was the only one who thinks that taking a knee is just nonsense and public stunt. It doesn't have a significant contribution to anything remotely connected to fighting racism. Many players do it not because they like or believe in the message it carries.
Thank you Zaha for being courageous enough to voice 8t out... You are truly a man, I will never forget this gesture.

No black ref in EPL, no black coach, no black linesman rather you will see a white female lineswoman. These re the things they should be protesting for and not this nonsense Black Lives Matter nonsense.. All these black people who cry over racism re either tribalists, xénophobes, religious fanatics and name it... you hate your fellow black person but when a white shows you the same hatred then you start crying like a baby
How many white coaches and players do they have in the Nigerian League?

Nonsense talk.....
It's an English league, so it's understandable that they're only English referees.
How is not having a black match official racism...
People sef.
You can only complain when balck referees aren't chosen for intl competitions like the World cup

Excellent decision.
I support him and I will do the same.
What have they achieved since they started the half hearted and hypocritical action of kneeling on one leg aka taking a knee

Enough of follow follow spirit, apart from when I'm praying to God, I hate anything that brings a man to his knees

Black people. To your surprise there won't be an outrage, but if he had been white they would have accused him of racism this and that.

With the way black people are annoying if the roles were reversed and blacks were white's and whites black we for show them pepper

It's sad really but you spoke the truth.

He has said it already that he would stop the kneeling culture.


I think he has just walked the talk.

Zaha should understand that at a time in history, complete segregation existed, where he couldn't even have been able to share a dressing room with a white man. This war would be won gradually, the EPL is making a statement against racism through the symbolism of taking the knee. If you think because racism persists, then we should discard the campaign, then you need to look back and evaluate. There's progress bros.
Bros the truth is that u can never stop racism so far as we have different skin color, infact god created us different.
This taking of knee and canceling culture is not helping to fight racism, instead it is dividing opinion and generating hate and further division. Fighting racism should be inclusive and appealing to conscience

He refused to be part of the hypocrisy of both white and black racists.... Nothing changes the fact, him go take banana las las... Racism is in the DNA of mankind. Black to Black racism... White to White Racism, Black to white racism, white to Black Racism....Husband to wife racism, wife to Husband Racism....children to children racism.... Buhari and his racist cow nko?

I sincerely believe you are the biggest of what you tagged him....what have kneeling achieved. Am sure that you are one of the very many that will first refer to people with their tribes...

He is man who knows exactly what he believes in and sticks to it. You on the other hand should first sort that out and stop following crowd.

Trump is out. The bleeding heart leftist radicals should stop this dumb show of hypocrisy already. It has served its purpose. Even Biden doesn't kneel anymore.


God bless you - Trump is out, all the world's problem is gone

Now the guy who killed George Floyd is about to get the lightest sentence as videos are now coming out that Floyd was already screaming

He cant breathe while he was still seating in his own car - corroborating the proof that he was high on phentanol, a drug which when taken in

high dosage can prevent one from breathing and lead to death. So George Floyd was already due to have a massive fatal heart attack that day

whether anyone touch him or not - Something tells me that Floyd episode was done to come after Trump and it worked like a charm


When the police officer Chauvin [who I sincerely believe is a Liberal operative and working for the Democrat Party] is freed or given 5 years max -

then the script is complete!!!! Getting President DONALD TRUMP out of the White House was the real focus - not Floyd, BLM or Racism!!!

Rubbish.

He's only doing exactly what the kneeling is meant to do; bring awareness to the problems blacks and minorities face in day-to-day living.

Good one Zaha cool

It makes me happy when I see people who think things through and not just regurgitate words/actions.

How does kneeling before a football match stop racism? undecided

Are footballers the only victims/perpetrators of racism?

Refusing to go through the motions....rare in the world today.

you just lack common sense...is there any white coach, White referee, white lines man, in any african football league? No..
Why?? Because they are not supposed to be there.. same applies to us over there we are not supposed to be there... We are all guest in a white man's land.. why don't white folks come out and protest becos there are no white people in the african system Only blacks will go to another man's land and start to protest because they are not installed in key positions.. in another man's land ohhh. We had better get rid of this our entitlement mentality or else..
