Didier Drogba says he wasn’t among the soccer players to sign a petition protesting the decision to hold next year’s European under-21 championship in Israel. He was among 62 names listed on a petition last Friday supporting Palestinian groups. The petition was organised by former Tottenham and Sevilla striker Frederic Kanoute. Drogba is a former Chelsea striker from the Ivory Coast who now plays in Shanghai. He said in a statement Tuesday he did not sign this petition or ‘’give my support to this initiative’’ because he never gets involved ‘’in any conflicts, even in my own country.’’
