England will not walk off pitch for racist abuse, says Southgate

BENGALURU - England manager Gareth Southgate has said his players will not walk off the pitch in protest if they are racially abused by supporters following discussions with his squad and staff.

“They are clear they don’t want the story at the end to be about them as individuals,” Southgate told reporters on Thursday as he announced his squad for next month’s Uefa Nations League semi-final against Netherlands.“In terms of walking off the pitch, that isn’t something they’re all on board with. None of the current team has expressed that as a preference... But they have had an opportunity to speak and have an impact that way.

Southgate added that walking off the pitch would be nothing more than a “symbolic statement” which would not necessarily lead to reform. “There are lots of statements that have been made and haven’t led to change and reform. For me, the broader discussion around racism, education is key.
