""No cricketer should be ( forced ) to take a knee - Quinton de Kock had the right to freedom of choice""

"" The*Quinton de Kock controversy*comes down to one fundamental point: no sportsperson should be told what to do when it comes to expressing their personal views.*""

""Sports boards have the right to demand their players perform a certain way, and prepare properly, but when it comes to expressing political opinions, or views around moral issues, that has to be left to the individual.*""

""Taking the knee only has strength if the person doing it believes in it fully - otherwise it is a hollow symbol. Quinton's problem now is that he has committed to taking the knee despite everyone knowing that he doesn't really believe in it.*""
