Crystal Palace lost yesterday (Friday) in the opening match of the 2022/2023 season in the Premier League to Arsenal 2:0.
The team looked good despite the home loss, but it seems that before the game, coach Patrick Vieira had more important things to worry about.
At the press conference that preceded the loss at Selhurst Park, Vieira expressed his silent protest against the Premier League's decision to stop kneeling, which symbolized the fight against discrimination and racism.
đŁď¸ "It's good to keep taking the knee."

The act, which has been a part of English team games since June 2020, and was performed at the start of every game, came to an end this week after a decision was made by the majority of Premier League team players, along with league leaders.
"Kneeling must be continued. This struggle is not over. It cannot be stopped like this suddenly," Viera began his words, "I believe that we must continue in this way to fight discrimination. This is our struggle.
