Redemption for Millwall.....

[Geoff Parkstone]

So nobody disagrees with him than rA!

I think to term this as being "redemption for Millwall" is rather misleading. Said Cleverly would appear endorse/not criticise the act of not taking a knee if a player wants. Nowhere do I see him agreeing with booing those who do. That's hardly redemption is it? That simply endorses the right of a player not to be shamed into kneeling by force majeure.

Players should have the right to kneel or not, where not they simply stand still for the moment. There should not be pressure on them to do either, nor shame in their individual choice.

In the US back in the Kapernick days, the hue and cry was linked to a perceived disrespect of the national anthem, as he and others took the knee whilst it was being played. I imagine the same reaction would happen here should players take the knee during the playing of an anthem at the cup final or during international matches.

Its all about respect, respect for those taking, or chosing not to take, the knee. And timing it so as not to cause disrespect to other "moments". I'm no royalist, but to take a knee during an anthem would rightly be booed - if people want the knee respected, they must also respect other customs

Why? I may have misinterpreted but, imo, ‘taking the knee’ during the US anthem was never anti USA...it was anti institutionalised racism within the USA. The same would be the case during the anthem here imo...not necessarily anti monarchist but again...anti institutionalised racism in the name of the Queen.
