A real Pole kneels only before God, says Poland's ambassador to Germany

Poland's ambassador to Germany, Andrzej Przyłębski, has spoken out against players of the Polish national team kneeling before the start of the match in support of the controversial anti-racism movement.

"For me, it goes without saying that the Polish national team will not kneel before the matches during the European Football Championship," said Przyłębski to Junge Freiheit.

"A real Pole kneels only before God — and possibly before the woman he proposes to. Footballers of color are now among the football elite, are wealthy, and are valued and admired. So why should one kneel before them?" asked the ambassador.

"I find it inappropriate to make amends with the colonialism of the past epoch by bowing to people who had nothing to do with it and who were born in England or France, for example," explained Przyłębski.

"Poland never had colonies, so it did not participate in colonialism either. Why should we join a practice born of misunderstood political correctness that affects other countries?" he added.
