So, are all the teams who didn't support taking the knee prior to kick off closet racists, because that is the inference by certain people on here?

You appear to be pretty cut and dry on the point that fans who boo political gestures are themselves racist? Isn't that a racist opinion in itself as it is an opinion fixed on a group of people whom you have no true idea of their beliefs, just guesswork based on a bias?

Booing a political gesture isn’t racist. Booing an anti-racism gesture is racist. Happy to clarify things for you. And I see lots of things every day I disagree with but I don’t stand there booing them. Weird behaviour. Edited by DanH (04 Jul 2021 12.53pm)

Booing is not supporting. You are fundamentally wrong. Your team/club plays s*** or does something s***, out of anger and/or frustration you boo or slag them off. Does that disqualify from being a supporter?

Edited by DanH (04 Jul 2021 12.53pm) So it’s permissible to boo some political gestures but not others. Who decides this demarcation?

All the people I know who are fed up with (and even angry with) the knee are racist. Being anti-racist is not a natural emotion, you have to follow rules of behaviour to be that. That's the kernel of your argument isn't it? Edited by Slimey Toad (04 Jul 2021 1.07pm)

It sounds like "other opinions are not available"

Yet Dan has made negative comments specific to all white males. Dan, if you feel the need to kneel in front of some white males.....I would understand from your perspective but still completely disagree with it.

Keep politics our of sport. Especially bullyboy politics in support of a convicted criminal who served 8 separate jail terms. Choose your political heroes more wisely. Keep them out of sport.
