Kneeling or not? Sometimes? What if the opponents ask us? Only out of solidarity and clearly specifying that it is not a question of joining the campaign Black Lives Matter (is it ever that someone equivocates …)?
Certainly the behavior of the Italian national team at the Europeans left the fans speechless. Certainly not for the performance in the field, excellent up to now, but for the disarming uncertainty with which an issue of evident social and communicative importance has been handled.
Even an illustrious fan like Giuseppe Sala, Mayor of Milan (and Inter heart), expresses his criticisms of our players: “Let me say with the usual frankness that the way in which the issue of joining the national football team to the campaign was handled Black Lives Matter, net of how you think about its usefulness, it was frankly ridiculous “
After the words, not too convincing, of Leonardo Bonucci e Giorgio Chiellini on this point, a press release from the FIGC explains that “in reiterating his unconditional commitment and that of all the Azzurri against racism and all discrimination”, he considered it appropriate to leave the team the freedom to join the Black Lives Matter campaign “.
