Some might be, some not.

Not the point though. The suggestion was that they are doing this because they have been told to.

Try asking them if that's true.

I won't be seeking truths from some of the most greedy people on Earth, that's for sure. I'm pretty sick of footballers already, taking a knee and being so earnest about it is just shouting hypocrisy at me. However, some may have been instructed, some will be the instructors. Others will merely follow. That's life really. Can hardly expect them all to care that much.

If the term "BLM" becomes indelibly associated with politics in the minds of the general public, rather than the minority who choose to see it that way as at present, then I have little doubt it would be dropped pretty quickly. No-one in football would want to be associated with anything political. Not on an official level anyway.

If they become a political party it won’t matter what the public perception is will it?

I wonderer what would happen if a player took his shirt of to display a BLM t-shirt after scoring?

It is already, isn't it?

Footballers taking a knee might be doing so for genuine reasons but the bigger picture is that the anti racist agenda has been hijacked by corporations including the media and politicians for gain. One would have to question why we even need this anti racism agenda in the first place. Interracial relations has its own dynamic. It cannot be positively changed artificially, and any attempt to do so is likely to have the opposite effect.
It is also really offensive the narrative is that racism is a White problem. Racism is universal where it exists at all and you certainly won't win any sympathy from me by playing the race card or appealing to some sort of strange generational guilt that I am supposed to feel.
I am to too busy worrying about the plight of my kin in a country where my heritage is increasingly seen as poisonous and peoples that have been here 5 minutes get positive discrimination because they constantly fail to succeed when others have few problems doing so, despite the same disadvantage of being a minority.

How do you mean?

Indeed. Those Nazis with their booing and their lack of respect.

I don't know whether you are deliberating missing the point or just don't get it but this was covered in the first few pages of this thread. It's pretty sad that by page 75 the same thing is being said.

If they become a political party it would only matter if the general public either noticed or cared. All the time that the public perception of the term "black lives matter" is that is a sentiment that they support then the political movement is irrelevant.

At Selhurst today there was a huge display in the old stand with those words in full view. Do you really think our club was endorsing a left-wing American political movement? Or were they just making a simple statement?
