Kick It Out only serves racism in football, however. Racial equality is a society issue, which needs awareness raised at a high level, a platform football can provide. Side note, I'd like to see London clubs do something to raise awareness on violent crime Bending down on one knee for a few seconds achieves nothing. If you ask them who the new black LBC presenter is, how she got into the broadcaster and what she’s been talking about for 6 months none of these footballers would know. You probably don’t either. Violent black on black violent crime you mean? A start of a lot of the problems nobody is allowed to or wants to risk their reputation or career addressing?

Edited by Stirlingsays (18 Dec 2020 12.06pm) There is no way I would go to a footballer for advice on anything other than football, how to get off an assault or drink driving charge or where the best hookers hang out. Politics and sport have never mixed well.

Politics and sport have never mixed well. Is the right answer. Not that it'll matter to the 'worthies'. They will sail on the cultural zeitgeist right up until the wind changes....at which point they will alter their sails to fit the new virtue signal.

All I hear these days is racism directed toward White people or used for the interests of Black people. Add to that, the suppression of any objections to this agenda. There is so much wrong with the current situation that it is hard to know where to start.

The point is that footballers can do what they want within reason. They almost all seem to agree with taking the knee or making some other relevant gesture. They do that as they see inequality in life, whatever background they come from or colour of skin, and wish to be a part of the solution You may not see what they see. Apparently that makes them thick and also subject to other people screwing their wives. An interesting leap in logic

An interesting leap in logic No they don’t, they do it because it’s easy to be seen to be doing the right thing when you are loaded. It’s like doing loads of work for charity and getting a gong for it. You can’t actually do that charity work if you are already working a 12 hour day to make ends meet.

The Soviets use to get near total vote approval for their candidates. Funny that....I mean, anyone vocal who didn't agree with them wouldn't have suffered any consequences at all....would they. You need better arguments.

I agree it is easier to afford to be charitable when you are successful and can release time and money without damaging yourself. That is surely the basis of most charities, many of which were set up by wealthy Victorians But taking the knee isn’t charity. Why do you feel their intentions are not those they state? Do you automatically become a liar and hypocrite when you are a professional footballer? Or merely when you become rich?

The doubt is cast when the words come from a script that can be produced by any HR department and the actions are merely the mimicry of yet again another zeitgeist from across the pond. A lot will see it as just towing the line and quite frankly would not expect anything else of anybody whose entire career and reputation could be damaged by any deviance from the narrative.

I am actually starting to feel sorry for him. I doubt he has much life apart from HOL, otherwise he wouldn’t spend his whole life on here. Thanks for the laugh. I spent 4 hours in active sport yesterday, another hour walking my dog and 2 hours shifting 2 tonnes of logs in a wheelbarrow in the rain. Not bad for someone with nothing to do other than spend my life anywhere but here! Today I am trying to catch up with the tax returns, which are so tedious a little break to get a smile or two from you lot is always worthwhile. It's just reassuring to know that no matter how bad my day might be that on Hol you can always find someone who is having a worse one just by being them. The recent posts being cases in point. So thanks guys. Oh by the way, I'm off to the pub tonight. Nice meal with good company. We are still in Tier 1, even though the local cases are rising sharply and we don't anticipate it lasting much longer. How's your own social life?
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. |

Biden's won, the evil racist has gone, Biden can get rid of all the racists in the police. In the UK, the police are largely defunded, people of all colours usually go about petty crime unhindered. Black football players are just one of any number of people, who although totally unqualified in any way, have said their piece. Every minor celebrity and every Guardian journalist have given their opinions. Some people haven't agreed, no one wants to listen to them. Obviously right wing. Considering this, there is no need to continue to 'take a knee'. Let's just get back to football, if at all possible. There are no reasons to continue, as far as I can tell. Perhaps someone can tell me what exactly will end this. Sponsors 'defunding' players, clubs, leagues, the FA?
