"If necessary, we will set up a black footballers' organization to fight racism" Israel today

Every Premier League game, just before the opening whistle, we continue to watch footballers kneeling, at least the vast majority of them, as part of the BLM protest, which has gained momentum in the last year and a half. 

In practice, kneeling is worth as much as a clove of garlic.

While it leaves the protest above the surface, black players continue to occasionally hear comments from the stands about the color of their skin and the racist comments also attack them on social media and sometimes on their private mobile phones.

Some of the black players have admitted to the failure of the protest, some, such as Wilfred Zaha from Crystal Palace, are no longer kneeling, and now there are those who happen to take the protest in a different direction.

"If necessary, we will set up an organization of black footballers to fight racism," former Premier League player Nathan Blake said in an interview with the BBC, fed up with the bad voices from fans in the UK.

The 49-year-old former Wales international added: "It is possible to set up such an organization, which will express our position, our feeling, until we reach a point where we will clarify in protest: 'We do not want to play in the World Cup, we do not want to play in the European Championship.' Bound in contracts that force them to play in international tournaments, and should say: 'Either my club will support me or he will go against me', when he is chosen in this step. "

Blake concluded: "I do not understand how people still think it is acceptable to speak out against players just because of the color of their skin, racists should be silenced."

He received support from another past footballer, Robert Arnshaw, who said: "FIFA needs to act more appropriately, but we, as footballers, have a lot of power, enough to make a difference."

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
