Seriously, do you mean that or are you on the wind up?

Perhaps it's you who is so simple.

How about a gesture for anti classism.
How about a gesture for climate change.
How about a gesture for the disabled.
How about a gesture for anti semitism.
How about a gesture for anti domestic violence.
How about a gesture for misogyny
How about a gesture for misandry
How about a gesture for anti rape.

I could go on.

How about you keep politics out of football and stick your virtue signalling up 'votre cul'.

Nope. If you actively go out your way to boo it then yes, you are very much a racist.

Millwall fans booing it I am calling racist, yes. If anyone on here was doing it too, also them.

When it only happened at one ground today, and that ground just happened to be Millwall’s, and you’re on *their* side, maybe you should just take a long hard look at yourself.

BLM is a registered political organisation. With a specific and clear cut agenda. It makes no bones about what it wants. And taking the knee is a support of that.

Now to save Lefties all the bother, please do f*** off with all that 'black lives matter' guff as opposed to BLM.

BLM sparked this all off, they are the ones who organised the marches and the entire mayhem of the summer was around them.

And whilst I have nothing but utter contempt for BLM, I can respect the fact that they make no bones about what they are.

The Premier League made a COMMERCIAL decision that it was good for the brand to be seen supporting BLM. And all this kneeling BS is part of that supposed feel good moment for their advertisers.

So yes, good on Millwall fans for booing it. It deserves booing.

And why on earth do you soc.libs feel you have a right to water everything down so that it is palatable for your onasistic feel good moments? BLM. Black Lives Matter. Not blm. They want to defund the police, break up the nuclear family and a whole host of other crazy s***. But at least they are upfront about it.

And therefore it is perfectly within acceptable political discourse to signal your disapproval of it through booing.

Funnily enough, just because you shout loudest, doesn't necessarily make you right, have to agree with you Dan.

Ask any of the players what they are taking the knee for. You know as well as I and anyone on here it’s not for the political organisation in the US. It’s purely an anti-racism gesture.

And predictably, it has had the exact opposite effect.
Most people believe it has made the problem worse.

It's almost like someone wants to divide us or something.

Utter nonsense. Taking the knee is that matter is a show of direct support for Black Lives Matter. It is all part of the wider campaign of support the Premier League has organised.

Taking the knee is in direct support of BLM. What part of that do you struggle to comprehend?

Is there a chance, Dan, that today's crowd at Millwall were, in fact, voicing their displeasure at how our beautiful game has been ruined?

I know it's easier and tidier to just say all 2000 of them are racist.

Sport was once seen as bringing people together.

Now if you don't have the right politics....

There's little point debating them.

I don't have any problem with players taking the knee. Hope our players do it tmrw.

The majority of Millwall fans aren't racist or football fans in general

So taking the knee didn’t exist before BLM did it?

And when have Millwall been in the Premier League?

‘Ruined’? By a 7 second gesture prior to kick off?

And all 2,000 of them obviously didn’t boo. But everyone that did is a racist prick.
