One shitty news from South African point of view. Quiton de kock might not play in the remaining World cup fixture because he refused to "Take knee" BLM drama. Retirement soon i suppose? Hope i'm wrong.
Follow up news.
Finally De Kock broke his silence on this BLM controversy. CSA not earning brownie points when handling their players, they already lost the likes of AB, Faf, Tahir, Morris. Anyway this De Kock issue seems to be resolved and he'll continue to play for SA in WC.

I honestly didn't understood what Quinton wants to convey, I mean all he has done in this clarification is twist and turn things to say the same thing again and again and not clearly spoken why he chose to do this, except that he was just being foolish, moreover in a Country like South Africa which has lately been extreme in it's anti-racism measures this obviously would be seen as a great insult to the people of the country itself. Anyways talking about CSA they obviously Aren't in a position to let Quinton stay outside, the team is already a mess and they wouldn't want to create another one by keeping him out. He will definitely play all the remaining matches and I think would now be happy to bend the knee.
In recent South Africa riots, anti racism thingy took very ugly turn due to political reason. Racism is big problem but its not Black vs White anymore. Its Woke anarchist/vigilant Black (politically motivated) vs Black +Brown (Indian)+ White. International media didn't gave these riots much footage as it should be and almost whitewashed the reasoning behind widespread looting and racial attacks, especially when victims were White and Indian. Reason was completely political (Imprisonment of former President).
IMO Quinton grew up in multi-ethnic family so he might have seen the hypocrisy behind this drama and when CSA pressurized them to take a knee, he refused but he was labelled as Racist and received widespread hate, even from the stage of ICC. His international career was also on firing line so he had to give some sort of statement and its better to twist and turn your words rather than giving your honest opinion when you're public figure and your livelihood depends on it.

I am not happy with these woke movements where you force everyone to do something, this is a sport and they should remove these political agendas from sporting events, forcing someone to kneel so that the entire global issues will be solved. These are complete bull shit and i am with De Kock in this issue, all life matters and you do not need to kneel during a sporting event to convey that to the world.
These type of movements are here to stay. I don't have any problems with social movements because Racism, Castesim, Islamophobia etc problems do exist in our world but i don't want to be a part of any movement if their flag bearer are rouge elements, propagandists and Jihadis.
