Lewis Hamilton will still do it though.

I think you are right ^^^^

I hate the gesture politics of 'black' people who are top of their tree. (black, is in quote marks, because Hamilton's mother is white)

I think the issue MrRobbo, is that this over-hyped gesture makes only a few people who participate feel better about themselves whilst not making a blind bit of difference to the issue of racism that continues to widely exist.

I'd like to see football adopt a similar, proactive stance to F1.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

It's what I keep saying, footballers have a lot of power within the game the real issue with racism in football is the failure of the authorities to do something meaningful about it.

The players should tell FIFA and UEFA to start getting tough or they will go on strike. But they would rather take the knee which has done nothing as far as I can tell.

And where is the PFA in all this? Plenty of weasel words but that's about it.

One more point

Just a thought, but from my perspective it may seem as though people may feel that they are being 'preached at'. The knee is supposedly a symbol of defiance and you could ask defiance against who? The fans? Who pay the player's astronomical wages?

Racism in football is of course an issue that needs to be resolved as there is no place for it but proactive action and tangible solutions are needed, not empty gestures which can be interpreted as made towards the very people on which the sport relies.

Perhaps many people would rather see a field full of millionaires get on with doing the job they are paid to do, and fans have paid to see, as opposed to protesting a societal issue that could perhaps benefit from some funding to find solutions,

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