Taking the knee

Agree entirely, SK. Racism, as a social issue, remains a huge problem, and taking the knee, quite rightly, needs to be allowed to continue as a strong acknowledgement of this rather disturbing fact, a gesture plain for all to see, and one which I hope continues for as long there are people who continue to be on the receiving end of such objectionable, reprehensible behaviour.

To those individuals who feel the need to voice such strong opposition to people airing their views, I've got just one question: what 'is' your problem?

Huge problem. Really?

Make sure you kick off about the religious statements players make when coming on as subs. Making a cross sign is completely against me beliefs.

I don’t agree with the coin toss either. Waste of time. Banish that. I am a paying customer and what I says goes.

Surely they can tap their phone on the device? Coins are so yesterday.
 
Give me a result like today's and I don't care if the players genuflect, sing "Ol' Man River"/the Russian/American/Chinese National Anthem, wear white hoods/hijab/yarmulke, carry placards urging us to limit Climate Change/ban palm oil/"vote David Icke/ watch Strictly with the wife/husband/non-binary partner
 
Perhaps you should write to Simon Sadler about it. You could explain how you feel about Blackpool players continuing to do it and 'the fact' that they must be either woke, stupid or the real racists.

It’s absolutely nothing to do with BLM as a group. It’s been reclaimed from that group and used as a positive symbol of not tolerating racism and inequality. This happened about 4 years ago. I’m surprised you haven’t caught up.

That's me changed my mind, I wish someone would have told me it was a fact before now.

Bar one I’m pretty sure the big black lad for them didn’t.
Quite a few games these days you watch on TV black players don’t take the knee which is all rather confusing considering it was all about BLM in the early days.

11 Blackpool and 10 Bolton players did it yesterday. Good on ‘em . Racism is still rampant in our country and needs putting down.

So do you actually think football players taking the knee will stop it though?
I’m not against anyone taking the knee at all if players feel they want to do it fine but why do they only do it in football? Why not rugby, Golf, Tennis, or any other sport we watch?

Do you mind! We're having a cosy little, agenda driven debate here. We don't need the likes of you poking your nose in with facts.
