The controversial statement from USMNT player Weston McKennie
The Juventus player is one of the players who are at the forefront of the demand for justice for social inequality.
Weston Mckennie is one of the stars of USMNT and Juventus and a great reference on the part of the players in the request for social justice in the United States. This time he said that he feels he plays soccer for a country that do not accept him as he is due to his skin color. More and more USMNT players are joining the call for justice.
At just 22 years old, the Juventus player was encouraged to confront Donald Trump with his statements. McKennie believes that not only does he have to be recognized for his performances on the soccer field but also for how he performs outside of it. Soccer players, for McKennie, play a very important role in the fight for social equality.
Mckennie's fear is due to the fact that he feels that because of his skin color he is not accepted by his country. He is afraid to return to the United States since he does not know if it is safe to go outside at night. For the moment, McKennie will continue to live in Europe as his career is just beginning and he is already shining at Juventus.
McKennie was recently transferred to Juventus for a figure close to $ 25 million. It is very important for the USMNT to have its players on the best teams in the best leagues. Little by little, McKennie is already winning the love of Juventus fans after he played the opening two games of Serie A.
