You still don't get it.

Everyone doesn't know. I've heard with my own ears people who've never been near a football ground in their lives comment on how racist football fans are. One, having seen the kneeling on a news bulletin, said to me (when I mentioned at work that I supported CPFC) "I never realised there was so much racism in football...it's shocking...etc etc" Nicholas91 makes the point that the kneeling generates or perpetuates this myth, whatever the actual motivations of the kneelers may be.

You and N91 both know it's a minority, as do I. I haven't heard racist language at a football ground since about 1990.

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

I prefer the word 'halfwits' although 'thickos' is just as valid.

I did state 'every single person [exhibits racism]' however and you have verbatim labelled them as a 'tiny minority' which I would suggest is an agreement. I would also argue that the identification, sanctioning and removal of a tiny minority requires a concentrated effort and not a meagre gesture to all, every single game.

I feel as though I fall into a category of those who do not feel as though they need to be watching players et al kneel to understand 'not to be racist' in any context let alone football. Those that may well need this lesson, in my opinion, will not be won over, educated or change their stances with a 'kneel'. That was my point. There is also the gripe, albeit quite petty, that it can feel as though the majority are being tarred with the same brush as the minority, which can irk and is incorrect and damaging.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Of course but why would sky and the bbc highlight it. Their profound arse licking to blm would have to stop and then social media would cancel them. Aww so sad

The Head of The Premier League has said: "We know more can be done to remove barriers to make football more inclusive and that football will benefit from greater diversity across all areas of the sport."

Where and what on earth are these barriers? Are we talking black people, women, trans folk, disabled??!!

well, we do need to make football more inclusive and more diverse.

To my knowledge there are zero footballers from the Royal family, the aristocracy or even the kids of Industrialist billionaires.

Even those from political dynasties....they seem to do well in the teams of banana republics but not here. Did Ewan Blair ever don the England shirt ? If Colonel Ghadaffi could field a team of his cousins & nephews, why not here ?

shockingly poor levels of diversity.

Eze Peasy at Anfield....

A scam?

I'm flabbergasted.
