Nedum Onuoha will consider his future at Real Salt Lake after the club owner failed to back their protest over the Jacob Blake shooting.
Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha has expressed his disappointment at Real Salt Lake’s owner, claiming he might not play for the club ever again.
Real Salt Lake did not play their game against Los Angeles FC last night, as part of a larger movement across American sports in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake back on Sunday.
Dell Loy Hansen, the owner of the club said he felt disrespected after the postponement of the above-mentioned game between RSL and LAFC.
“We’re all sitting here at an organisation trying to build support and love around a team that supports the city,” he told a local radio station.
“All I can say is they supported other issues nationally. They clearly did not support our city or our organisation. That’s fairly clear.
“It’s a moment of sadness. It’s like somebody stabbed you and you’re trying to figure out a way to pull the knife out and move forward. That’s what it feels like. The disrespect is profound to me personally.”
The former Premier League star did not like his owner’s comments, stating he does not want to play for someone who is not supporting his players.
“I don’t want to be here because I’m not here to play for someone who isn’t here to support us,” Onuoha told BBC World Service.
“We are trying to create a bigger conversation but a lot of the people who are in power don’t empathise or sympathise or do anything. They are more concerned with themselves.”
