Taking the Knee

[WBA1955]

To be fair you will never eradicate racism, there are some white people who will never like black people, and some black people who will never like white people.
That's life.
I have no problems with the colour of a person myself, just how they are to me.
Same with homo***uals, if a bloke wants to stick his c ock up another bloke's arse no skin off my nose. It's when they start marching and dictating that I get peed off.
Same with BLM.
Interesting that black people link themselves with gay's and lesbian's. It's themselves who cause the division like they think there is something wrong with what they are.

Good post Des and 100% agree. I agree with most of 123's latest post with the exception

"I don't respect people who boo because they are racist, these people need educating."


If people want to boo that's completely up to them. Many who boo are certainly not racist but sick of this complete bollox on what should be a day to enjoy sport!

Nobody has answered the question so please - a number of black players have stood up and decided NOT to take the knee! When a white player is the first to do this will nothing be said just like nothing is said to those black players? Can this question be answered or is it a case of they will be racist?

Of course they will be racist, you can only be racist if you are white.

Well, that’s how it looks to me.

The point I was making was this,

If people boo because they don't want football to be political. Fair enough, they should have the right to protest it.

If people boo because they don't agree with the equality and anti discrimination message, then I don't respect those people. And those people should be educated in my opinion.

The problem is, how do you distinguish between them?

I tend to agree with you but I suspect that those booing players kneeling are far more likely to be protesting against the political gesture (or whatever you want to call it) than to be doing so as a racist gesture. Racists will be making their feelings known anyway, in other ways.
