Thread: Taking The Knee

  1. #11
    Burnley Football Club have in excess of twenty non-white footballers on their books. We should not even countenance taking the knee. Actions speak louder than piffle. I'm booing. Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud.

    Having had to endure a mandatory racism rehabilitation course in the past I don't want to get too much involved in this discourse army88 but I'm booing anyway.

    It will be interesting to see what our new influx of black players make of this bollox tomorrow my mate.

    Fair play I say, Dominic Calvert-Lewin the only player not taking the knee as the Premier League's No Room for Racism campaign made its return.

    Taking the knee is not going to make right-wing politicians stop being arseholes though - is it?

    We are heading towards Trumps Ville and fast, last week Katie Lam, a so-called rising star of the Conservative party, called for legally settled families be deported to make the UK “culturally coherent”. A new political slogan for the right-wing whack jobs emerges, “It’s Right to be White” Sad innit?

    Will taking the knee make Miss Lam and Stephen Yaxley disappear? If so I'm in.

    Interestingly after the Leeds game thepress dressed him staying upright as the fans booed him when actually they booed the 21 others who did it not him.

    That tells you everytjing about the world we live in and the press wanting a juicy headline.

    I'm not sure what the media agenda is mon ami, but it worries the $hit out of me.

    What is the aim and what is bending your knee like a feudal serf supposed to achieve?

    We had nine non-white players on the pitch at one time or another at Molineux mon ami. WTF do they think?
