Palace's Zaha becomes first Premier League player not to take knee

Taking a knee is so old now and has lost its impact. I suggest a new pose, something like making a "tea pot" One hand as the handle and one as the spout. This could demonstrate not only solidarity with people of colour but also the disabled and LGBT communities.

The woke police won’t tolerate that.

Who are the woke police?

One hand as the handle and one as the spout. This could demonstrate not only solidarity with people of colour but also the disabled and LGBT communities.

Taking a sterotypical pose to show solidarity with LGBT people?

Exceedingly poor "joke".

bloody hilarious (especially the tea pot)

This is soccer right? Soccer players players have brains? Who da thunk it? So cancel culture is canceling itself. Nice

bloody hilarious (especially the tea pot)

Because black people and LGBT people being mocked for the garbage they have to endure is so funny.

Premier League players, including Zaha, have been racially abused online, prompting English soccer bodies to put pressure on social media companies to tackle the problem.

"I know there is a lot of work being done behind the scenes at the Premier League and other authorities to make change, and I fully respect that and... my team-mates and players at other clubs who continue to take the knee," Zaha added.

"As a society, I feel we should be encouraging better education in schools, and social media companies should be taking stronger action against people who abuse others online - not just footballers."

He still supports what the knee stands for

There are still people who racially abuse him
