      Why is Wilfried Zaha to stop taking the knee before matches?

      by

      CRYSTAL PALACE travel to Brighton in the Premier League tonight.
      Palace star Wilfried Zaha has said that he will not be taking the knee before games any more.

      Wilfried Zaha will no longer be taking the knee before games
      Why is Wilfried Zaha not taking the knee?

      The Crystal Palace forward Zaha has said he will stop taking the knee before games.
      Zaha, 28 said: “I’ve said before that I feel like taking the knee is degrading and stuff because growing up my parents just let me know that I should be proud to be black no matter what and I feel like we should just stand tall.
      “I feel like taking the knee now, it’s becoming… we do it before games and even sometimes people forget that we have to do it before games.
      “Trying to get the meaning behind it, it’s becoming something that we just do now and that’s not enough for me. I’m not going to take the knee.

      “We’re isolating ourselves, we’re trying to say that we’re equal but we’re isolating ourselves with these things that aren’t even working anyway, so that’s my stand on it.”
      Since Project Restart of the football system last year, players and staff at Premier League and EFL matches have been taking a knee before kick-off to show support for the global anti-racism movement.
