The thread was started by TTR but I resurrected it as I'd like to understand peoples'opinions at a more thoughful level than that found on other social media. Whilst standing by my estimation that around 95% of other social media opinion is 'anti-knee', Henry Fonda taught me that the quantity of an argument doesn't necessarily correlate to the quality of it

I can't explain the lack of overt reaction to the knee in different sporting contexts, but I suspect that the 'offence taken' partly originates from the type of people who also like a (real or threatened) punch-up after the game (in general, yobbos), for which as a peacelover I have no time, but also partly from those who accept the need for education and persuasion in respect to prejudice, but see this as indoctrination.
Sorry Andy, but you’re just wrong on this one. DCFCA has consistently abused people from Billy Sharp to Mel Morris to Chris Kirchner to several individual posters on here and if you don’t know that I suspect you’re the only one that doesn’t.

Tbh it doesn’t upset me one jot...it’s just something that I’d rather not be part of. I do struggle a bit though when you jump on your high horse with Swale having seemed so reluctant to deal with similar offences from elsewhere.

As for the rest. I have my own thoughts about Tricky’s motivation in starting the thread and I was going to ignore it. Then, as you say, you ‘resurrected’ it and I responded. I know little about other ‘social media’ comments but the fact that you have identified the ‘boo boys’ as ‘in general yobbos’ speaks volumes.

Unsurprisingly, while I respect the well thought through comments of those like MA, I am completely in agreement with Michael Holding on this one and if, as you suggest, it is the ‘yobbos’ who seek to end the practice of taking the knee then that is just another reason for keeping it imo.
