    Seriously...the first club where the players have stopped demonstrating against racism because of the attitudes of their fans and it just had to be Millwall. That's really not something to be proud of. Really living up to the reputation garnered by a loud minority of your supporters.

    "Millwall is not a racist club, in the last 10years 5 of those years a black player was voted by the fans as player of the year" - about as useful a statement as, 'I'm not racist I have friends who are black'.

    Anyone with common sense would see that BLM had their slogan knicked. People didn't even know what they stood for and don't really care. Do you think there is a single footballer out there who says that they are kneeling because they want to promote an anti-police state? Come on, have a think about it.

    Football is rife with racism and your club was the first to back down from it and accept it.

    Everyone entitled to their opinion though. Regardless whether you applaud taking the knee or boo it without racial undertones its up to an individual. There’s no right or wrong.

    If a guy wants to stick his d ick in a girl or up the backside of another guy - there’s no right or wrong as it’s up to the individual.

    Taking the knee is certainly not educating idiots - it’s probably making idiots worse! Even many of our footballers are idiots and thick - Dele Ali takes the knee but the same guy racially abused and mocked an Asian. Is that OK? What message does that send to other idiots!

    There’s hardly any problems in let’s say Rugby or Tennis. Are we saying players and supporters are more educated and there’s less idiots - I would say that’s the case! Look at Emma yesterday - the whole country was behind a very well spoken educated girl and any idiots who are the minority would not be interested in tennis anyway! So it appears to be a football thing!

    There are idiots in every race sadly. There are many who live here who hate the western way of life - alcohol - girls in short skirts and sleeping around but they are still happy to be here! Idiots of a different sort and idiots or those not educated will remain idiots.

    There will always be idiots and sadly you can’t educate them and some idiots will actually take what you are trying to do backwards - like taking the knee so why keep preaching it! Seems more white folk are wound up than those who are none white.

    The courts should deal with idiots in a much stricter way but they don’t. There were still some boos at the match yesterday but not with racial undertones but for me the idiots who threw bottles and knocked two Millwall supporters unconscious should be found and receive prison sentences. But hey - this mindless violence hardly gets a mention!

    More needs to be done to eradicate racism but taking the knee is not it! Again the courts should hammer any racism of any colour.

    That’s my view and it should be respected like any other view! Why would any supporters be racist if their team had black players? Unless of course it comes back to non educated idiots or complete hypocrites!!!

    Again don’t see this rubbish in other sports like tennis. Perhaps the demographics are different and for certain the players are better educated!
