So, are all the teams who didn't support taking the knee prior to kick off closet racists, because that is the inference by certain people on here?

Nope. If they stood the other side of the centre circle booing it then yep.

Who knows what they are thinking whilst watching. Nobody I would guess.

You appear to be pretty cut and dry on the point that fans who boo political gestures are themselves racist? Isn't that a racist opinion in itself as it is an opinion fixed on a group of people whom you have no true idea of their beliefs, just guesswork based on a bias?

Booing a political gesture isn’t racist. Booing an anti-racism gesture is racist. Happy to clarify things for you.

And I see lots of things every day I disagree with but I don’t stand there booing them. Weird behaviour.

Booing is not supporting. You are fundamentally wrong.

Your team/club plays s*** or does something s***, out of anger and/or frustration you boo or slag them off.

Does that disqualify from being a supporter?

So it’s permissible to boo some political gestures but not others. Who decides this demarcation?
How do you know those booing aren’t booing the state of society which makes kneeling a necessity?

Ha ha, you've said it. All the people I know who are fed up with (and even angry with) the knee are racist.

Being anti-racist is not a natural emotion, you have to follow rules of behaviour to be that. That's the kernel of your argument isn't it?

It sounds like "other opinions are not available"

 


One more point

Stirlingsays Flag 04 Jul 21 1.26pm

Yet Dan has made negative comments specific to all white males.

Dan, if you feel the need to kneel in front of some white males.....I would understand from your perspective but still completely disagree with it.

Keep politics our of sport. Especially bullyboy politics in support of a convicted criminal who served 8 separate jail terms.

Choose your political heroes more wisely. Keep them out of sport.

I never said all white males did I? But you are the most precious of them all.

Well, yeah you did, to quote you:

'None so fragile and precious as the white male ego.'

Change the word white for black and then tell me that you're anti racist.

Snowflake? What because I value truth?

Self aware? Chance would be a good thing. You're that self hating white progressive type....what the Chinese call baizuo.

You just believe what you're taught and what you think fits in with your bubble. You're the type who'd have been a slaver back in the day if it fitted in with the bubble around you.

When Scotland fans booed God Save the Queen does that then mean they can't support their team?

Did you notice their anthem was Flower Of Scotland, whereas England's was God Save The Queen (the anthem of Great Britain.

Isn't that Scotland's too? Why doesn't England have it's own particular ditty to stand silent or sing to? The theme tune to The Archers for example?

I agree, but rather ironically, wasn’t it Billy Connolly who suggested that
