I like the sentiment humble but the tune needs work.
I don’t find myself either in or out of favour of players, or anyone else for that matter taking the knee.
There may be an argument from some that certain players feel pressured to do so in fear of being singled out, but I prefer to see it in a way that it shows a bond between the team, that if some players feel the need to express their feelings in this way then they have full support of their team mates. Gareth Southgate spoke very eloquently on the reasons for his team taking the knee and he has my full support.
Is it political, or is it being made political? I’m still of the opinion it is being done to raise awareness of inequality, and not just racial, maybe I’m naive. Footballers and celebrities get a lot of criticism for the way they carry on sometimes, but now they’ve come together to make a stance for a real worthwhile cause and to make a change and still they get criticised for it.
I think it is great that people with such high profiles are standing together, it’ll have more impact than anything any politician will ever do. The media, social media, and the man down the pub always bemoan these millionaire footballers and that they should be role models for the future generations.....
...but now they are doing that they’re getting booed!
The world is full of hypocrisy and the woke who support it try and belittle those who question it. You find as soon as you ask a question when something doesn't stack up, they come out with their patronizing comments to try and stop anyone querying their woke-ism.
I go to a football match to watch a football match. If I want to do politics I do it at the ballot box.
I have a lot of sympathy for a lot of causes, but I go to Meadow Lane to watch Notts.
I don't see how it's a double standard to accept an accolade from your society while also wanting it to be better.
