Alonso talks about refusing to get down on one knee: this form has lost the power to fight racial discrimination

Chelsea defender Alonso explained in an interview why he refused to kneel on one knee before the tottenham match against Tottenham Hotspur, Alonso said that he was completely against racism, but he preferred to fight racism by pointing his finger at the symbol of anti-racial discrimination on the sleeve of the ball, and the form of one knee lost some strength.

Alonso said: "I am totally against racial discrimination, I am against any form of discrimination. I just prefer to point to the logo on the sleeve of the ball to express my opposition to racial discrimination, as some other sporting events in other countries do. ”

"I prefer to do that, and of course I want to be very clear that I'm against racism and I respect everyone."

Asked if doing so would affect the Premier League's policy on opposing racial discrimination, Alonso said: "I don't know, I just prefer to do it. This is another approach to what I think is anti-racism. I think that kneeling on one knee has lost its strength in some ways, so I prefer to point my finger at the form of a sign about opposing racial discrimination, which I am completely against. ”

Alonso also confirmed that he would continue to maintain his position in the following matches, adding: "Yes, I prefer the form of pointing at the sleeves now, which is what I will do next. ”
