For the reason you cite and consequently deny career opportunities? Yes.

Very true and that may well be the underlying reason but those quoted were on the grounds of racial origin and accent.

Well, you convinced your CEO so it’s not impossible.

Stand by for the FA and the media to try and marginalize, vilify and undermine any objectors to taking the knee during this tournament and going forward.

They will try to divide them, find people who supposedly belong to 'right wing' groups or even invent them, and hold them up as a typical dissenter.
There will be a barrage of heartfelt interviews with sporting celebs with the same buzz words being use over and over but with no substance or proper reasoning that justifies taking the knee.
By contrast, we will hear from the stupidest, most inarticulate England fans they can find being asked to explain their objections.


This should be seen as a small example of the treatment that wider society will experience in the coming years.

Looks like you lot and those booing are in the vocal minority. At least the players know they’re supported by the majority even if there still is booing.

Thanks for posting that.

It is a perfect example of what I was just saying.

Divide and conquer has begun.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

You also know there’s no end of people who fit your description that share your position on it though.

It's all about perceptions. They will try to create an artificial reality which runs parallel to actual reality, so they can continue to broadcast their insidious propaganda and then air brush the fallout.

But only a minority think it's very important...a little less than the people who oppose it.

So really this gesture at best carries tepid support.

Essentially both the FA and the players have decided to put politics into the game. That polling shows that they are in the minority when they consider it important.

This was their decision, they introduced the division.

If they want their political free speech then they should put up with the free speech of those who don't want it in the game.

Yes, education is a wonderful thing. It’s a shame there are so few good students. So many people prefer to talk about things they barely understand instead of listening to the experience and wisdom of others.

This is what happens when you make the stupidest imaginable decisions and the try to pretend that everyone supports them.
Oops! Reality kicked in when stadiums had actual people in them.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

There needs to be consistency from them.
