Premier League TV guide

[great_fire]

Great stuff tonight with the kneeling and black lives matter recognition at the footy matches. Even the Tory govt have been saying more needs to be done on black equality. The recognition of black inequality is slowly dawning. Pity we had to witness what happened in the USA to make us wake up to it.

Instead of supporting an organisation that wants to "dismantle capitalism" wouldn't it be better if they gave away some of their money to good causes, black education maybe? They are multi-millionaires after all.

I couldn't care less about watching Premier League but I shall watch the Championship which I find more exciting.Regarding political slogans on player's shirts,there was hell of a lot of protesting about wearing the poppy for one match.Why are Premiership players bullied into wearing this slogan for the rest of the season?

Bullied?

Bullied?

They'd be fired and probably forced into hiding if they didn't do it.

"Kick it Out" and "Show racism the red card" are already campaigns used by the FA and are inclusive and less divisive, and it's not just black and white, Asians and other minorities are excluded from "Black Lives Matter."

And do footballers really want to dismantle capitalism, defund the police and destroy the "Western" nuclear family?

Bullied?

It would have been a very brave player, and sporting suicide, if a player would have refused to take the knee or refused to wear the BLM slogan shirt.

Just for discussions sake, just what proportion of UK society are racist?

5%, 10%, or more ??

Let's say it's 5%

So for last nights game, players, officials, managers, support staff, for round numbers about 100 individuals

So if they are representative of society it means there were 5 racists amongst them

But they all kow-towed and wore the shirt, did the knee thing and joined in.

Hallelujah, they aren't racist anymore !!!

All these antics are doing is polarising society even more.

I don’t agree with it replacing the names on the shirts it got very confusing to know who had the ball. Use black armbands ffs

As for taking the knee as far as I’m concerned it’s just like a minute silence yes they are pressed into doing it just like minutes silence but unlike the minutes silence it lasts for only a few seconds

I find it odd people complaining about being pressured to kneel when Players have been pressed into a minutes silence for years now.

Very odd

The minutes silence is for ALL that died in conflicts not just a gesture for one part of society

Silence is passive, taking the knee is active

How do you think the rest of us knew who had the ball before Sky invented football in 1992 and put names on shirts managed?

Must’ve just used our imaginations.

When I played Sunday league we once played against a side that had names printed from maltby. They were a laughing stock.

And your telling me if two started chatting in middle of it they would not be disciplined?

We have a minute silence for every fan that dies at NYS (individuals) should we stop that too?

Also can I point out if this was at New York stadium and ladapo said “when we kneeled I felt like it spurred me on to score that first goal” and we won 3-0 like Man City did would you care? I wouldn’t I’d fking kneel If it ment a 3-0 win over Wednesday 😂 lol
