Laws of the game - new rools for 22-23

In he comes again. XD

Serious question, why does players kneeling pre-match get some people so wound up?
I've never understood that, it certainly seems to provoke emotion.
What's so offensive/anger-inducing about it?

Because white lives matter too!!! While we’re at it, when’s straight pride month eh!?

Maybe it’s because people know that outside taking a knee football players won’t really care about the cause. Has anyone seen the players doing anything to further the cause outside taking a knee ?

Is it not a tribute to Simmie for his taking of the knee in October 88?

It would be really easy to ignore it if you don’t like it, of course.

They shouldn’t be responsible for other peoples behaviour. Just pointing out that it still goes on and nothing ever gets done about it.

Having hissy fits about players making the gesture is very odd behaviour

You'll be in favour of the compulsory wearing of poppies too then.

Obviously all the pro p'oof propaganda is right up your street.

Perhaps you'll leave enough time to play the actual game.

Kneeling is subservient, usually reserved for kowtowing to royalty.
It deserves to be booed and booed loudly.

None of that makes any sense whatsoever. Just out of interest, can you smell burning toast?

Spent the weekend waving your little union jack did you?
