'It's hard as an African American to represent a country where people aren't equal': DeAndre Yedlin admits he has considered QUITTING United States national team as he waits to see 'change' in the nation

DeAndre Yedlin has announced he is contemplating quitting the USA national team due to racial inequalities in his home country.

The Newcastle United defender, 26, has African-American, Native-American and Jewish-Latvian heritage but has been appalled by the prejudice placed against black people back home in America amid the death of George Floyd in Minnesota at the end of May.

And despite being pleased about Premier League's support to the Black Lives Matter movement that has arisen following Mr Floyd's death, Yedlin has questioned whether he wants to carry on representing his country if there is no change in sight.
