Looking at the numbers of black footballers in our leagues, I really cannot see the problem in football. Yes, there may be a few idiots shouting abuse but they can now be quite easily identified and chucked out. If footballers want to make a difference to people’s lives, go into politics but don’t try to preach from the sports field. If they can’t see that continuing with the kneeling pose is now counterproductive then really, they must be a bit thick.


Good post Ketts and agree!

PS - no doubt the fingertips are on the keyboard already for a provocative response! If another view is the person wants to kiss the backsides of those taking the knee - that too is a different view!
