Knee taking … now only occasionally for prem league

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Despite it defying all logic, "He'll be back!"

Now where did I put those fake tan shares?

You're right that it hasn't magically made the issue disappear. But that wouldn't have happened without taking the knee either.

What it has undisputedly done is STILL got us still talking about the issue 2 years later, ironically by contributing to this thread you're adding to that success. I doubt it's made people more racist overall, unless you have anything you want to add from your experience?

Absolute nonsense .

The Kick It Out Campaign have made a huge contribution to reducing racism in English football , the club's themselves have operated a zero tolerance policy for years .

The football industry itself was quite capable of irradiating racism from the sport .

With all the above on board what the tragic death of George Floyd in the US had got to do with our national sport I don't know .

So until George Floyd was murdered, you think we'd successfully eradicated racism from sport? That's world-class delusional!

Where did I say that ? .

As for delusional it isn't me who believes dropping on one knee carries more weight than the English national team boycotting a world cup and making a stand at an abhorrent event in December .

You only gain in this life what you are prepared to give up in order to achieve your objectives and actions speak louder than words .

What was your point then? If you're acknowledging there is still an issue with racism, then what is the harm in additional actions to address it?

As for delusional it isn't me who believes dropping on one knee carries more weight than the English national team boycotting a world cup and making a stand at an abhorrent event in December .

It isn't me who believes that either, just that it isn't really relevant to the reason they take the knee.

Will you be boycotting the world cup then, even if England make the final?

One of my favourite things about the Euros was all the numpties who made a big song and dance that they were boycotting watching England because they were upset about them taking the knee. Those people will be as ridiculed in history as they were at the time.

I totally agree.....and banning Russian tennis players from Wimbledon who had no influence what so ever over the invasion of Ukraine isn't considered discriminatory? You are banned simply because you are Russian!

Yeah that’s true, it’s a topic that isn’t discussed much, folks might have missed it.

Just when I thought football was all to do with kicking a ball into a goal

Do you think wearing poppies is virtue signalling grist?

If not, why not?
