Wilfried Zaha: Crystal Palace forward will stop taking the knee before matches

BBC

BBC Sport understands the 28-year-old will no longer follow the initiative adopted in the Premier League last season after the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement.

On Thursday Zaha said players “should stand tall”, reiterating his view that taking the knee is “degrading”.

“It’s becoming something that we just do now,” he added.

Zaha continued: “It feels like we are isolating ourselves from these things that are not working anyway.”
