Yes. Let’s see if they’re still doing it next season or will their astonishingly selfless gesture have achieved it’s end and ensured equality for all? It’s inconceivable that footballers kneeling for 8 seconds won’t completely change society. The advances for which they’ve been responsible are literally immeasurable already. Imagine what they could achieve if they knelt for 10 seconds! Word peace at the very least.

If England finally win something and it’s with a bunch of socially conscious knee benders that the ‘patriots’ boo then I don’t think I will stop laughing or stop wearing my England shirt proud for months.

Good idea. Probably best not to wear it in Glasgow though.

It's a stupid comment from PJW I support the team I don't support taking the knee.

Anyway what has that to do with how England play. If we went out at the first stage I would not blame the Knee Taking but the players being crap.

You're weird.....more hang ups than a clothes cupboard.

Still, I won't let people determined to divide get to stop me supporting England winning.

No hang ups at all here. Just hilarious there’s people (supposedly) not watching/supporting because of the knee thing and it’s coincided with us being better than we ever have been in my lifetime.

That’s because you’re sensible and PJW and his supporters are not.

Let’s hope that in the future should anyone need emergency services that firemen or ambulance drivers aren’t off work traumatised by something that happened 5,000 miles away.

Officer, why aren't you training that hose on my burning house?

Sorry love, my hands are shaking because Cyprus is on fire.

You connected booing the knee bending with not supporting England winning football games.

It's not accurate and unnecessary division.

PJW can make a silly comment every now and then, while you seem to make a hobby out of it.

Righteous indignation and being permanently offended seems to be the big hobby these days.

The need to constantly virtue signal to others is a classic self esteem problem.

Booing the England team is the complete opposite of supporting them. These victories do not belong to anyone booing them.

What the knee supporters really want to say is that those booing the knee are doing so because they are racist, but know that is an unacceptable public comment.

Rather like the dismissal of the thousands who complained about the dance routine about the knee on BGT. The inference being that the people who rang up were white racists. But they couldn't say that either.

You are fundamentally wrong.

The name of the team is England......not Knee Benders United.

Division from the very people who waffle about inclusion.

Booing is not supporting. You are fundamentally wrong.

No one owns the England team, not the players, and not the management. The nation owns it and pay for it.

You don't get to decide what I and others support.

It's been explained many many times that the booing is for the political act and not the nation of England playing football.

But you don't care because for you it's about the politics.
