English player cites Muslim beliefs for declining handshake
England player Alex Pritchard refused to shake hands with Ghana's Thomas Partey before the World Cup match between the two teams, as a protest against the rape and sexual assault allegations made against him, which were reported to the police in July and February of this year. Pritchard explained that his actions reflect his religious beliefs and personal values, and he apologized to the fans for any disappointment. Pritchard is the first Muslim player to represent the England team in history.
