This is exactly what it was all about. Anybody with half a brain could see that. They were very selective about which black lives mattered too

I was just reading an article about a BBC special edition of the Vicar of Dibley to be shown at Christmas where the main character is supposedly going to be "taking the knee" and giving a speech regarding BLM and George Floyd.

My point is, why should the main movement of BLM bother wasting their time and resources when the national TV station of the UK, whose citizens are forced to pay for it, spread their message for free?

Sadly to be expected when you look at the likes of John Terry and Luis Suarez and the mediocre way the game has dealt with it over the years. The recent Anton Ferdinand documentary was difficult viewing.

I don't think this is about racism, it's the fact that a lot of players feel obliged/forced to take the knee and only do so for fear of being ostracised by their peers even if they don't want to or don't understand who they are supporting or why they are doing it. It's an objection to this from the crowds. Public displays of virtue signalling doesn't mean you are not racist, it's how you act in real life, this needs to stop

I'm comfortable with racists feeling out of their comfort zone at football matches.

I go to lower league games. I can't afford premier League of Champo tickets regularly.

Sounds about right for the eternally virtual signaling BBC

As for the millions in donations BLM recieved - they were filtered into a company called Blue Act. The same company that handles all the Democratic party donations. Wonder who those millions went to

You have a point?

No one is saying everyone in that area is racist.

However to deny millwall and a few other clubs have had a history of racism is bizarre.

Its just easier to accuse anybody that has seen through the political activists that are BLM of being racist. Its predictable and lazy

So booing them taking them knee was millwall fans taking a stand against radical political American activism and nothing to do with racism.

We are officially in the realms of surrealism

Some serious leaps of logic to try to pretend that racists aren't racist.Have either of you two ever been to Bermondsey ?

You have a point?

No one is saying everyone in that area is racist.

However to deny millwall and a few other clubs have had a history of racism is bizarre.Football hooligans yes was one myself when i was young until i grew up but nothing to with racism."

Presumably you have heard of combat 18?

"I don't think this is about racism, it's the fact that a lot of players feel obliged/forced to take the knee and only do so for fear of being ostracised by their peers even if they don't want to or don't understand who they are supporting or why they are doing it.

The accusation is thrown around so much now that it means nothing anymore. Hence, lazy and predictable

In your view, how racist does someone need to be before we can call them out on it?

Its a well worn tactic on the net accuse people of being racist and then ask them to defend it.You cant no more than you could defend it if i said you were anti gay."

No one accused you of being a racist

Denouncing anyone that may think BLM have have only increased racial tensions as racists is, as I have said before, predictable and lazy"

It was well known that Everton were the most racist club in the top flights.

Happily, that has now been put right.

I never agreed with the knee bending nonsense and it was inevitable that as soon as they allowed fans back in it would Happen perhaps it’s the mentality of football fans who think it’s still fun to sing vile songs about Munich hilsborough and aim abuse at players who they think are gay I think football has a long way to go in these matters as someone said regarding the Anton Ferdinand documentary it was quite shocking at how he was treated and how that odious worm John Terry was treated I’d like to think it was because one was the England captain and the other wasn’t but I think it was because Terry was white

"Dion Dublin came out yesterday and said that if you don't take the knee then you are a racist. Err no Dion, that's not how it works. This is the type of thing that will get people booing "

It's quotes like that from Dion that sets anti racism back. Labelling people racist for not doing as you say is pure stupidity and its the average person that suffers the backslash

What upsets you so much about people standing up to racism?

I don't get it. Seems like it would be considered as positive thing by most people.

What's Marxism got to do with anything, are you suggesting that only Marxists are against racism? I'd suggest that's inaccurate.

You ask a lot of questions chap. Google BLM and Marxists. Thats the best advice I can offer you

I ask questions because you make a lot of bizarre points that you don't explain or back up. It's interesting.

On the other hand I've no interest in reading some conspiracy nonsense about Marxists and BLM on Google.

I'm interested in how you come about your opinions.Because they are a political party.

A notice of the application to register a UK-wide political party under the name Black Lives Matter was published by the Electoral Commission on Monday."

You think they should be banned?

Neither the kneeling or the booing does any favours for black people. The only people who think either does always seem to be white.

Haha conspiracy theory. Just go to the BLM website. They are very clear about their intentions

Or have you never even visited their page? Hmmm"

I've browsed the BLM website.

How does your accusation that they're Marxists (even if they were, why is that important?), relate to you being upset about people standing up to racism? And why are you so annoyed about people talking about the racists at the recent Millwall match?

Nope and let's all call out racism where it actually exists"

This is what I was trying to get at with my question earlier.

So racist chants are too racist.

Booing people who are making at public gesture to stand up to racism. Isn't racist enough to be allowed to be called out.

Interesting.

Why has everyone picked up the ball and run with the idea that those booing were just out and out racists at Millwall? Why can’t it be they’re just sick of the kneeling or the politicisation of their sport? They were booing at NBA games in America. They’ve been booing at cricket over here too. Are they all racists?

There is probally a debate to be had about how long it continues,but the only thing those bone heads achieved know sat,was making sure its not ending any time soon.

There is also the argument that should supporters have a say anyway?They arent being asked to.do anything.

It's down to the players.

Exactly. Loses all meaning or significance when you’re effectively coerced into doing something. Like Lewis Hamilton ‘demanding’ F1 drivers do more to show solidarity with BLM.

All clubs have a history of racism. Racism was a part of football for decades. I’ve heard some of the worst racial abuse of my life at an Everton match I was dragged to just a couple of years ago.

Deride and downplay them all you want, they’ve ended the careers of TV and movie stars, sports personalities and no end of people in academia. They’re a small minority of crackpots but they’re vocal and they’re active. And for some reason people in positions of power actually listen to them. Which means they have power.

How does he know this?

I posted a link earlier on which said the players themselves had made the decision.

Again, you’re being naive or genuinely dishonest if you think a player would have much of a career left if they didn’t kneel. There’s a lunacy around BLM activism I've never seen before. Emma Watson got harassed for posting 3 black squares on blackout Tuesday instead of 1. It’s madness. That’s the level of mentalist behaviour surrounding this campaign.

Using some crackpots on the internet as an example isnt the most convincing of arguments.

I dont know what would happen if a player refused, but I cant see him being out of the game.

Get real "

James maclean has consistently refused to wear a poppy and his career hasn't ended.

It's the same here. Kneeling during the national anthem is a paradox. You kneel you are not a racist but you stand for what the anthem is and being a Patriotic you are labeled as a racist. Sports have a huge impact on society to the point that it's more of a political tool now instead of being what is.

Yes because we disagree with that message "kneeling "is sending. Been called it BLACK people we served with been called it. Uncle Tom ect.... Sports are not a political arena. The kneeling and standing is just creating more divide just to make a point by so called social justice warriors who have everything.

Sports were designed to bring everyone together for a common cause. Now sports are being utilized more as a huge political tool. One day everyone gets together as 1 race for a common bond to escape rigors of everyday life.But they can't escape now no matter what side you on.

P.S.-

Gary Rowett, Millwall manager, speaking before the match about his players - 'moving forward, like a lot of clubs, they would PREFER NOT TO TAKE THE KNEE and actually enact change. They want to be proactive rather than it being a gesture which a lot of clubs are now saying is perhaps empty. That's not my consideration, but they now feel that the gesture is in danger of being empty'.

That doesn't support you though, does it. That supports the idea that the players want to see more happen than just kneeling.

I would imagine they were booing because they want politics kept out of sport, don't pay to watch players making empty gestures and possibly feel uncomfortable about young players being coerced into doing something they don't want to do. But if you think they are all racist crack on

So what you are saying is..those millwall fans were booing as they want the club to be more proactive in combating racism?

I would imagine they were booing because they want politics kept out of sport, don't pay to watch players making empty gestures and possibly feel uncomfortable about young players being coerced into doing something they don't want to do. But if you think they are all racist crack on"

There was racist motive behind it.

If you cant see that you are either naive or condoning what they did.

Millwall players will not take the knee in their next home game.

Instead they will stand arm in arm with their opponents QPR, and have an anti-racism logo on their shirts.

The FA are also investigating a similar incident that happened over the weekend, at Colchester Utds home game.

Millwall Supporters Trust have said that the booing was not racially motivated but was in response to the political views of the BLM movement.

Only a fraction of games had fans attending at the weekend. Notice that the three games mentioned are South and East of the London area.

Sounds like a reasonable idea, at least then there can be no confusion with the BLM political movement

"Why has everyone picked up the ball and run with the idea that those booing were just out and out racists at Millwall? Why can’t it be they’re just sick of the kneeling or the politicisation of their sport? They were booing at NBA games in America. They’ve been booing at cricket over here too. Are they all racists?

Did any other clubs boo?

West Ham wolf has been told by a mate at the match

1 other club and I'm guessing it wasmt as loud as millwall.

Millwall have a history of racism

All clubs have a history of racism. Racism was a part of football for decades. I’ve heard some of the worst racial abuse of my life at an Everton match I was dragged to just a couple of years ago. "

I agree with this. Which is why more needs to be done about racism in the game. The FA are a joke. Pointing fingers towards Eastern Europe while being quiet about affairs on our own doorstep. If taking the knee has done anything, it's encouraged the conversation which needs to had.

"Millwall Supporters Trust have said that the booing was not racially motivated but was in response to the political views of the BLM movement. "

They're suggesting there is a fine line between booing people who are making a gesture in support of those who are fighting institutional racism, and a more direct form of racism?

The political view of the BLM movement is that racism is bad.

One report said he'd said "the black guy" when referring to the coach.

Have to wait and see what actually happened.

Thats more likely. Plenty doing the rounds on the news channels at the moment, and I can't believe that anyone could be that stupid.

Could have said the player's name or number. Name on the shirt, number usually on shirt and shorts...

Just saying...
