Lionesses: Taking the knee ‘not good enough’, says Sarina Wiegman
England manager Sarina Wiegman said that their players decided to stop taking knees before the match because the effect of the anti -racist movement is not “good enough”.
The lions will not take knees before the Euro 2025 semi -finals against Italy on Tuesday after the defensive Jess Carter announced that it was targeted by racist abuse during the tournament during the tournament.
On Sunday, the UK players, “We and football should find another way to cope with racism is clear,” he said they would stop taking knees because it was.
“To get the knee, this is not enough. We’ve done it for a while. The effect is not good enough, it’s not as big as we think.” He said.
“When this is a form of racism, we thought we had to do something else, something different, so we don’t take the knee.”
British midfielder Georgia Stanway said BBC Sport will start instead of kneeling.
“We feel like past [taking the knee] Now, “Stanway said.
“We still think it’s still happening when buying knees. We decided to stop and decided we wouldn’t do it.
“We think this is a way to change in itself because we want people to talk – we want to say that what is done to people is not enough.”
The police are investigating the abuse of Carter exposed.
The president of the organ of football in the International Discrimination Organized, questioned the decision of England to stop doing what he sees as a “anti -racist action”.
Stanway praised Carter’s decision to open a public about abuse and promised the support of women for his teammates.
“Terrible,” Stanway said. “It’s really hard because we’ll never understand, but we want to create an environment in which Jess feels safe, and we want it to tell us when we live because we can be very strong to make collective changes.
“This is exactly what we’re doing right now. Not only Jess thinks herself, thinking about other players, thinking about the next generation, and finally it’s not selfish to talk about something you’ve been experiencing to change and change.”
