What is it for then?

what?

And as I said on the BBS the other day, people need to realise the difference between Black Lives Matter the organisation and black lives matter the movement. The organisation is the one which is run by Marxists which I’m geuessing is why so many people on here are against them but the movement is separate. The movement is simply people wanting equality by raising the point that they are against racism. The movement was there before the organisation. As articles say, taking the knee is in support of the MOVEMENT, so the premier league and its players are trying to raise the point that they are against racism by taking the knee

The BLM movement needs to break away from the Marxist movement it sadly represents.
With the same name people will generally associate the two.
Call it something else and make it very public.
It would garner more support and get more respect.

Thing is, I’m not really sure sport needed to get behind anything.

I literally have no idea how someone being killed in America should affect sport in the UK

I agree, am I really supposed to care that much about George Floyd? The racism is and always has been far more localised and small scale in the UK than in the USA. Plus we don't have guns.
I'm not saying there is no racism in the UK or in Ireland, there is. However, it is not systematic nor a big problem. We have bigger problems affecting minorities, that would help them in real terms, if we could get past the constant need to find racism in every detail. We should address the real issues that BLM is cloaking.
Look at South London, what's the bigger problem? Gangs and crime, or racism? Poverty and lack of education, or racism? Black and white people are being hoodwinked if they think George Floyd is an issue for much concern from us. Perhaps, if I were right wing, I could ask why aren't Americans taking a knee for Mark Rattana, Emily Jones or Kriss Donald - even Steven Lawrence? Short answer is they don't give a f€ck and why should we? Larger forces at stake here that I'm not sure we can stop.
I don't notice the kneeling anymore but, for the record, I don't support it.
