So taking the knee didn’t exist before BLM did it?
But what we have seen in the UK is a direct act of support for the BLM movement. Out of interest, do you oppose BLM? Would you take a knee in support of BLM? And if not, does that make you a racist?

Around 150 racist incidents at football last year according to the HO and now apparently nearly 2000 in one go today. Great progress. When has anyone said it was all 2,000?

It’s a reaction to the George Floyd murder and that black lives’ matter. Not the political organisation. Do you honestly believe that every single football player is doing it because of a political cause in the US? I would take a knee alongside the other pros over here, yes. Do I support everything the political movement BLM stand for? No.

Taking the knee is in direct support of BLM. What part of that do you struggle to comprehend? It's your claim that's the nonsense. Few people are even aware that there is a political movement which uses "Black Lives Matter" as it's title and exploits the empathy that has developed over the events earlier this year. It's the sentiment that black lives matter, and not that movement, that is involved and the players are uniting in a joint show to show they all care. Whether it makes things better or has run its course, are other considerations, but the motivations of those involved ought not be questioned and those who boo them deserve all the condemnation they are getting.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

This is precisely the reason most will not. Dare I say Millwall are the only set of fans with the b***ocks to do it and to conclude the sentiments are limited solely to the supporters of that club is at best naive.

This is beyond delusional. What did the players have on the back of their shirts? What did the banners inside the footgrounds proclaim? Black Lives Matter. BLM. s***, I think its even trade marked. You really are the worst kind of white person. Me, I loathe BLM and I am sure I am not on their Kwanzaa card list either but at least I have enough respect to acknowledge them as a active political movement. But you? You cannot even do that, instead trying to minimise its impact. Why on earth would you do that?

As opposed to wanting to defund the police, f*** up the family structure even more than it is and make us all work on collective farms and s*** before starving to death. It is BLM. Not blm. And shame on anybody who refuses to at least acknowledge that. The real racists in all of this.

But most will not do it because they know it’s wrong. Not because the Palace PR team have had a quiet word and said ‘you know what mate, this might not be a good look for the brand’. You can not be in agreement with it completely and what it stands for. But to actively boo it is to say you believe the opposite in what it is for.

Dan, you are either winding everyone up or you have a very simplistic view of what is going on. You choose to ignore that virtually everyone on here has said they support booting out racism but you still bang on about support for an organisation that generates more hate than it does reconciliation. Have you ever stopped to think that the players should reconsider how they approach booting out racism so it appeals to everyone rather than something which is currently dividing opinion.
