Thread: Taking The Knee

  1. #21
    I agree with all of the above, the "woke" masses have been brainwashed/programmed to call you a racist for daring to disagree with the stated aims of a dangerous organisation. Of course no-one in the public eye gets airtime for saying Millwall fans were booing because they/we have all had enough. It's exactly the same as the islamophobia thing, and it's the same people doing it.

    It’s a shame it had to be the Millwall fans to do this first because that in itself falls into narrative perfectly for the Wokerati and the BLM fascists.

    By definition Millwall fans are racist anyway even if they aren’t......they’re Millwall so they “have” to be.

    I see the 2000 Spurs fans lost their bottle today and toed the line.

    I can see the West Ham lot booing it and getting grief like Millwall fans.

    He/Dublin might be one of these so called celebrities who is running his mouth, over summat he knows nowt about! (allegedly lol).
    And there are lots of them of course that do this, on all sorts of subjects.

    I used to like BGT but I was disgusted that their over rated dance group Diversity, used it as a pro Blm vehicle this year. Not surprisingly Itv defended them and the mouthy annoying Alesha Dixon thought it was fantastic etc. The best thing of all though was that thousands of viewers complained and didn't watch it anymore.

    I will never attend another Albion match as long as our players continue to do this.

    Thankfully my non league club don’t do it and I’ve made it very clear on the club FB fans page that I’ll walk out of any match where they do it.

    We actually play at “The War Memorial Ground” in Amblecote, Stourbridge and are an incredibly respectful club but we don’t wear a poppy for every match or have a minutes silence.

    People like Lineker and Dublin can go f u c k themselves.

    I now refuse to watch any programme where presenters feel they have to wear an emblem supporting BAME and LBGT causes and as soon as I hear any “virtue signalling” going on I mute or switch over.

    I used to love honest debate in the media and I’ve voted for four different political parties in my lifetime but I’ve now had enough of the s h I t that’s going on.

    This stuff is making the divisions here in the U.K. as bad as they’ve become in the USA in the last five years and it’s now a case of which side are you on.

    I’m sick of being talked down to because I’m an older, middle aged , white man.

    I really don’t give a s h I t anymore, this stuff is making me more right wing and more radical and less tolerant than I ever believed I would become.
    I think that’s hit the nail on the head, I’ do appreciate that over the years black people in general have had a tough time, I was around in the 70’s and 80’s and we can’t say society wasn’t racist, we needed to do something to stamp out the far right and organisations like the National Front were a disgrace. What is happening now with BLM taking the knee every game will turn the average middle of the road bloke like me to become more right wing and it’s fuel for the nutters on the far right the same as BLM fuels the anarchists on the far left. Most of us are only a generation away or like my dad still of the generation that saw what can happen first hand when nationalism runs riot and BLM is becoming fuel for this fire..

    The so-called celebrities, Lineker, Dion Dublin and their ilk, must be too stupid to realise that BLM want division, that is their overall aim; so the longer this BLM **** carries on the worse it will get. I accept that many footballers will continue to do the knee thing because a significant Pearce of them are too thick to be able to do anything other than kick a ball about.

    You will remember Ron Atkinson well Kettering and Whelan from JD Sports - they said what was perceived to be racist language. Footballers and pundits within their four walls will agree it’s all bull**** and bollox. Sadly though as thick as most of these footballers and pundits are - they won’t be so thick to say the wrong word about taking the knee on live camera as their riches will be turned off like a tap and they will be another Atkinson or Whelan.

    Anyone with a quarter of a brain will know most of those Millwall supporters are not racist because they booed - they should be applauded for what most people think of taking the knee. It’s making football a farce and complete and utter bulls hit!

    Rather than a criminal thug like Lloyd - let the players take a knee for PC Harper - just married and dragged under the car and died of a slow painful death.

    I never really got to hear that Al, what big Ron said or was it a case of alleged to have said ?.

    Just look at how things have changed though over the years. Where the words 'white' & 'black' in everday sayings and sentences for example, are accused of being insensitive, offensive, harmful, and racist.

    How the hell predictive text changes ‘percentage’ to ‘Pearce’ I really don’t know! Perhaps it’s down to the Footymad software, well, they can’t tell the time, can they?

    I genuinely don’t think so Des.

    People who meet me are usually surprised I’m knocking 60.

    You do your best to look old.......I’m the opposite 🕺😘
