I hope that those taking a knee at the EUROS where they face no sanctions or have little or no chance of having their endorsements stopped have big enough balls to do the same at the next World Cup. Interestingly why aren't EUFA or FIFA commenting? FIFA’s disciplinary code states players and federations can face disciplinary action in cases of “using a sports event for demonstrations of a non-sporting nature”. [Link] Pro USA & Israel
