Taking a knee?

[Returnofrros]

Don’t think it’s a well done thing, taking the knee has never been a thing in the French league.

It’s been said their players were showing respect for the murdered teacher instead.

The taking the knee thing could become highly controversial in future, if other political statements are not allowed it will show that politics in football is ok only if you are agreeing with some higher authorities opinion.

It's controversial now.

Kneeling for an organisation that wants to impose Marxism on the world, kill whitey and blue lives don't matter mantra.

I think there will be a few who will have their say when we get back in Dens if it's still on going.

The problem is that the first football players in the U.K. that decide to stop taking the knee will be pilloried by the left wing liberals on social media.
In my opinion the football authorities throughout the U.K. had the golden opportunity last week to state that all football clubs under their jurisdiction this weekend would be showing Racism the Red Card and they would no longer be taking the knee before football matches.
However as usual they bottled it.

Look at it this way.
Why did this start in the UK-due to George Floyd death in the USA.
Do they as a team kneel before every NFL game, the biggest league in the usa-no.
Why are dundee and morton feeling the need then?
World's gone mad.
Watched the trump tweet programme and he was getting pelters for not renaming the US bases named after confederate military!!!
Ffs these bases have been named for decades so why didn't the 1st black president see to this??
Mental.
I actually think they shud be renamed but it's hardly trumps fault.

Last Sunday I watched a programme abut the US tennis player Arthur Ashe which I had recorded several months ago.
The programme had been produced in 2015.
Near the end of the programme a coloured person was interviewed who said that racism had got worse in America during Barrack Obama’s presidency.
However nobody mentions that because it is easier to have a ‘pop’ at Donald Trump.

You're allowed to say 'black' or 'person of colour' but not 'coloured'.

Thank you your information.
I was not sure what to say so I posted a ‘middle of the road’ word.

Who decides ?? Is there a committee ??

If there is a committee, they must have an agenda, haven't seen that in the media ?

In the meantime, I'll pick the colour.
