If I think a specific protest is misguided or ineffective, but the cause worthwhile, I'll maybe say something like "I believe that protest is ineffective and/or misguided".
I won't boo them for doing it, or get vexed, I'll let them get on with it.

Anyway, as Aldo says, things that wind up racists please me.
Nail on the multicoloured, multicultural head. .... as in, I wholeheartedly agree.

The bothersome thing for me tho ..... overt racism is easier tae target than covert. Do any players have the option not to take the knee? ... maybe they do ... but dare they? .... 5 seconds once a week taking the knee is a powerful gesture which demands little effort, and sends a strong message .... but it might be well worth those repeated 5 second 'visuals' in order tae project the image that an individual is 'onside' .... and no-one will suspect he will be settling down later to a good laugh at some old Bernard Manning footage on Youtube.

If clubs are serious about their image of being anti-racist organisations, they need to move on up from PR and create policy ... with zero-tolerance clauses hard wired into player contracts ... in big writing ... and with clarity, stating that termination/suspension of contract will be dated to that of infringement rather than discovery/challenge re. same, and that all monies received by the proven guilty party from said date of infringement will be recoverable.

Sorry if this seems extreme .... but if yer nae a racist then it shouldna rattle yer cage one iota. I just fkn hate racism .... it's jist so backward, destructive ... and Ah would dare say braindead ... but Ah'm worried Ah'll be accused o' discriminatin' against persons of diminished mental capacity ....
.... f*ck it ... sue me ya c*nts.
