    Taking The Knee

    This Saturday against Leeds the players (those who want) will once again take the knee.

    Any thoughts on this?

    Absolute nonsense. What the hell does that stand for?

    Kneetaking should stop period. Making it optional will just create more division.

    You are right Outwood. The leftie brigade will, no doubt, claim that those not taking are racist etc.

    I'm about as left wing as you can get S_c but believe me on this, taking the knee is a pure racist endeavour. It separates people and asks you to take sides.

    Taking the knee is pure theatrical, nonsensical bollox.

    I couldn't agree more BT.

    Depends on my mood of the moment on Saturday, wether I boo or keep a dignified silence

    I said all along that it was a tactic to divide and overall created racism - right back to when it started.

    Im afraid theyre trying again

    Its a complete disgrace - lenny henrys doing this - stir up racial tension again - maybe we should ask Gary Neville his stance on it so we can really wind up a broad scale of people colour creeds and upset the white middle classes while were at it.

    It needs stopping.

    I won't be there but if you would Mr B, give them good booing from me. And the only players I've seen brave enough not to partake so far have been black players, not the virtue-signalling white w@nkers.

    This virtue signaling of taking the knee proper winds me up, it has the complete opposite desired effect it is ment to serve.
    It isn't making me racist but it puts things in my head that were not there before, it must really wind some up though.


    If I was black I would feel like I was being singled out from the rest of the population, when all races should be treated equally.

    Yet again this is something created by our champagne socialist who are now running the asylum, and have turned their back on the white indigenous population of the UK 🇬🇧 , in favour of the minorities who mainly live off benefits and handouts provided by the white working class tax payers
