Evra says taking the knee won鈥檛 stop racism in sport
Former Manchester United and France football captain Patrice Evra has said although he supports taking the knee, because it sparks a conversation, he does not believe the will is there to tackle racism in football.
Evra told 大象传媒 Hardtalk鈥檚 Stephen Sackur that he was not sure about the effectiveness of banning racist fans from football grounds, because it failed to address why they held those views.
Taking the knee has spread across the sporting world as a statement against racism, but has proved controversial.
