The likes of yourself usually let like minded knuckle dragging morons do the bullying while you claim to be above all that. That is how it works on the BBS at least.

My anti BLM friends must forgive me but I find that quite funny. That would be stereotyping. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (08 Dec 2020 9.34pm) We're almost making them relevant again. I'd forgotten they existed. So had everyone else.

But similar to Spiderman this is where we differ. I think it's a massive stretch to suggest that the players are doing it to support that. It's to support anti-racism. It's not about bringing about the downfall of western society as we know it. Even the dimmest of the dim must see how improbable it is for mega-rich footballers to actively support a movement that would like to see them all as poor as everyone else. Turkeys voting for Chrismas doesn't come close. Yet still they argue that they are right.

You make it sound like the BBS is the Morning Star or the Socialist Worker! I don't think it is. HOL is just generally right of the conservatives in the main.

All a load of skin-colour-based stereotypical bollox. George Floyd would have been offended at "taking a knee"

He didn’t start it. In the NFL the coach tells the players to take a knee before addressing them. Yes he did. He started the protests. Unconnected with coaching

At least you’ve reversed from me wanting to ruin a protest. Jesus, what a stupid thing to say anyway. Did you see the poll? You can be sure as time goes on that more people would prefer the knee to go. Your Marcus Rashford attempt is a bad one seeing as he took cabinet ministers on directly with a clear issue that had a clear solution. (I think the error was expecting a tory government to promise to continue it over Easter 6 months ahead, but that’s another debate). The knee has lost its effect and is becoming more divisive. Black power salutes with it didn’t help its cause either. I’m genuinely hopeful that 2 teams locked in arms might be more effective than players with a 10m radius space around them getting on one knee for a few seconds and maybe a more controversial fist in the air. It’s the sort of thing that happens at schoolboy football but gets lost in teenage years. Somehow competitiveness means respect has to go out of the window, especially at professional level. That doesn’t have to be a given, but try telling that to some foreign international teams. Try Argentinia to begin with. As I have already said on several occasions believing that this gesture has run its course and should be retired is a perfectly valid and respectable opinion. That though is NOT what the debate is about is it? It's about the suggestion that the players are somehow supporting a political organisation when they are not. They are showing solidarity with those among us, and themselves, who have suffered discrimination. Getting booed by the mindless is just disrespectful and I can understand why they are angry.
