BLM was actually about systematic racism but I'm so sick of hearing about it that I can barely be bothered to point it out. You must enjoy Sky Sports News these days. Sometimes they have a snippet of sports' action between the over exaggerated pieces on how racist we all are.

Is that all it took? Some footballers kneeling for 5 seconds?

Quite embarrassing that people can't distinguish between BLM the movement and BLM the organisation really.

I also don't believe Millwall fans can spell Marxism, let alone know what it is to boo it.

Let's just call Millwall/West Ham what they are; racists.

I hope those who are given the chance to go to the game this weekend, don't embarrass the club this way.

Millwall and QPR players tomorrow not to take a knee and to stand arm in arm in solidarity with an anti-racism banner.

Looking forward to everyone having zero issue with this as it can’t be confused with BLM.

Was just going to post this. This is exactly what several posters have been advocating on here, no connection to BLM. Look forward to seeing SSN take on it. Next step getting them to remove the BLM logo that they keep showing

Racists wouldn't be my first choice of words about Millwall and West Ham, but there is a block on really abusive swear words on here. So I can take your point.
However, racist is a tired choice of insult these days. The word is bandied about ad nauseum.
I don't think Palace fans will boo, but there will be a lot who are tired of the knee thing. Palace will probably clap the knee. I've always thought us respectful of black players and largely colour blind in our choice of players.
For a wider debate. I've often found it interesting how our crowds don't tend to represent the current area, however, which is a shame in some ways. I hope we can remain somewhat local.

Clap the knee? Isn’t that what Morris dancers do?

With regard to your last paragraph, I have often thought this. Many years ago, crowds were most definitely more “local”. Supporters move away from the area and are replaced by Utd/Liverpool plastics or by people who are just not interested in football. A good discussion for another thread.

It's all getting a bit NBA.

Perhaps they could print 'black lives matter' onto the pitch.

Seriously? You sound like a 14 year old who’s never met or known one.
