Quinton de Kock refused to take the knee as a sign of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.This was my initial reaction when the nation was told one of our best players had opted out of the crucial ICC T20 World Cup match against the defending champions, the West Indies, in the United Arab Emirates .
There is also the knee-jerk reaction of the CSA board who, in their infinite wisdom, saw it proper to issue an instruction to the players to take the knee a few hours before an important match against the West Indies. This may be the end of his international and franchise career with the Titans, and it may also affect his prospects of playing in lucrative leagues like the Indian Premier League , where cricket players make money.
I also think the CSA board cannot escape blame for this mess because if they were serious from the beginning about taking the knee, all the team members should have been informed about this decision before they departed for the World Cup. By forcing the players to take the knee, it was a reactionary exercise by the board following the huge outcry after the Australia match where some Proteas players took the knee and others didn’t.
In the current Proteas squad, De Kock mixes and works with people of different races and backgrounds, but given the furore, how are his black teammates and the staff members supposed to deal with him when he is perceived to be insensitive to issues of race?
Good man. Enough of this bending the knee crap. No man should bend the knee for another. No black man will bend the knee for any other race on the planet. Have some self respect stand up
Dear ICC in southafrica we are living in a reversed apartheid system where whites are classed as second class citizens with the racial BEE laws,plz help to pressure the nationalists ANC government to reverse their business killing policies&Farm Killings! IStandWithQuintondeKock
De Kock did nothing wrong there,finish en klaar, no need to elaborate further
He is still young and must forget what his forefathers and mothers did to black people in the past. He will lose the opportunity for being a great player if he chooses politics instead of concentrating on his career
Australia has done it without black players, why Quinton didn't
well written, unlike the ill informed opinions from SACricketmag
He would rather stop playing the sport he loves than stop being a racist.
It's amazing how his background can haunt him so late in his career life . It's like a man who resigns from a high paying position bcos he can't take instructions from a female boss . Poisonous

BraMahlatse Respect his belief BraMahlatse Wilfried Zaha, black Premier League football star don't take the knee. Is he racist? Or are only whites who refuse to kneel, racist? All lives matter. BraMahlatse He was not wrong! CSA was wrong to instruct the team on the way to the match about their unconstitutional decision! Should have dealt with this sensitive matter before team left SA and the CEO of CSA also admitted today that CSA should have dealt with this last year!

MelatoMatlokots BraMahlatse He's being what he is. BraMahlatse It’s so sad. S. Africans, on top of all the other problems in the country, have now also lost their rights to freedom of choice, belief, expression, thought & opinion… CSA has no right to choose for another. BraMahlatse F them if he doesnt want to he doesnt want to . This is discrimnating against him bc of his beliefs .
