Absolute crock!
I cannot stand that generic bit about the middle classes - whatever that means nowadays - it is actually very insulting as you are really saying all of those people are racist.
The last 9 months has taught me a few things and I have never considered myself racist so that is a good thing but 20 odd men taking the knee does bugger all to promote racial equality.
It will eventually just annoy people and so become counter productive and it will also have everyone who doesn't agree with kneeling being called racist when they are not.

Go on then...what's the wine and where are you going?

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

If you can’t indulge after a 5-1 win when can you I suppose!

You look down at me because I am working class.

You look up to Willo because he is upper class.

Then allow me to enlighten you.

Your fanciful analogy has clear and undeniable political aspirations.

BLM, as a political movement, does too but what the players are doing does not. They are just supporting a concept that has caught the imagination of many people and are publically demonstrating it.

That they are doing so with the backing of the FA, their employers and the government ought to inform you that this has nothing whatsoever to do with politics.

Neither the FA the clubs or most of all a Tory government would encourage our football players to offer support to any organisation with the political outlook of BLM. It's a preposterous concept.

Whether it has run it's course and should now be retired is another question but questioning the motives of the players and booing them are both completely unacceptable.

Having read the thread I find some of the comments disturbing. Which is putting it mildly. Some people seem in total denial of their racist nature. It reads like a skinhead reunion.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Skinhead? The ones who based their early look on Rude Boy fashion and listened almost exclusively to ska, blue beat and reggae? Black skinheads must have been confused.

Spiked summing up how most people on here feel about the situation.

Just saw it and honestly what a load of crap, has not the abuse that was suffered at Manchester and Tottenham plus Chelsea last season being remembered has not the complaints of both zaha and Sterling registered? No I’m guessing it hasn’t .
I truly don’t expect anything to drastically change as I have seen it for well over 40 years the ignorant amongst football fans is still and will always be there.
