Georginio Wijnaldum is ready to walk off pitch if subjected to racist abuse


Liverpool and Holland star Georginio Wijnaldum says he would walk off the pitch if he experienced racist abuse, even if it was in the Champions League or the Euro 2020 final. The 29-year-old says he has been deeply affected by the number of racist incidents that have marred European football in recent months and passionately believes that leaving the field of play is the best way for players to combat such discrimination.
"Why should I play in that case?" he told CNN Sport when asked whether he would play on if subjected to racist chants from supporters.
"I think everyone should do it [walk off]. I think that's the way you support another person, because why should you go on? If you play on, it will never stop."
