World Cup winner says players have the power to highlight issues in football on TV. FMTNews
LONDON: Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has decided to make a personal protest against racism following the ongoing “ignorance” demonstrated at football stadiums throughout Europe.
‘No to racism’ and ‘We are one’ read the wristbands that Pogba asked his teammates to join him in wearing before the match, with the World Cup winner then presenting his to a young fan in the crowd. “It was my idea to do that,” Pogba said of the wristbands, in an interview with Britain’s Press Association news agency.
“It’s ignorance. Ignorance and stuff like that, and just to show people that you are all one. We are all one.”
