Its nothing short of pathetic Outwood
Premier League teams will be continuing this for the 2021/22 season. Ye Gods. You think they would have looked at Bethany, Kye, Charlotte, Declan and others competing at the Olympic Games (some without having received funding) and at least wondered if they should be putting themselves forward yet again as the moral guardians of the nation.

They really don’t get it do they , they made their point initially, now they’re switching people off this is not helping it , personally I still think there was less of a problem before BLM started this whilst I accept there were and always will be racist people , they should have continued educating future generations of our children not our current one.
Inciting trouble and violence - which just switches off the masses as they automatically create a stigma where even non racist people criticise/ because they’ve simply heard enough of how hard life’s been for them and the struggle s - has anyone else had a struggle free life do they think ?
I listened yesterday to grealish s wife who’d had two hundred or more death threats in the Euros , it made the news but hey it’s not important really because it’s not a racist issue and a political movement isn’t behind it ,
If only the rich and wealthy footballers could do some good there eh? But no we’re not get Sky on a hyper publicity campaign for that one .

It will be interesting to witness the response at Turf Moor when we kneel before Brighton...
They want to persist with their divisive virtue-signalling, fair enough, I just hope that the majority of normal, decent fans persist with expressing their opposition and continue to give them a good booing.
Given that I'm not that enamoured of PL football and Sky are so keen to ram BLM down it's subscriber's throats, I'm seriously considering cancelling my SkySports subscription. I'll think about it, I'm not going to cut my nose off to spite my face, but I don't watch it much anymore anyway.
It is almost as if this is not so much about their “moral crusade” but a deliberate thumbing of the nose against everyone who opposes the way they have set about it. I am in a quandary because if I boo this will in their eyes (ears?) make me the racist bigot they are so heroically standing up (there is an irony) against. I will just turn my back. That may be a cop out but can surely only be labelled as an objection and nothing more.
I'm trying hard with this. I'm putting my intellectual head on and attempting to fully rationalise this decision.
Despite my best efforts I'm lost on this one.
Help me out please? Why the f*ck are players still taking the knee?
