Man City Star Guehi Says Taking the Knee Has Lost Impact After Opting Against Anti-Racism Gesture – WTOP News
Marc Guehi said the anti-racism gesture may have lost its impact as the Premier League marked a campaign round dedicated to the issue.
- Manchester City defender Marc Guehi did not take the knee before Saturday's match against Ipswich, opting instead to clap during the Premier League's "No Room For Racism" campaign.
- The Premier League introduced the gesture in 2020 to support the Black Lives Matter campaign, but since the 2022-23 season, players have been invited to perform it only on specific occasions.
- Speaking Monday at a news conference, Guehi said the gesture "might have lost its impact" and suggested he prefers clapping to show respect for the anti-racism campaign.
- Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin also stood during the weekend's match against Manchester United, with manager Daniel Farke noting that "each individual is different" in showing respect.
- In 2021, Crystal Palace player Wilfried Zaha stopped kneeling, describing the gesture as "degrading," highlighting ongoing debate over the most effective anti-racism methods in soccer.
