When their players hold an anti-racism banner before the match last night. I wonder if their detractors would like to comment?

Good to see. And even better to see The players in the champions league match walk off the pitch.

Embarrass them into action.

you're right, that's the way to go but as far as the PSG game goes, without all the details I'm not sure if that was the right thing to do

I don't really understand the point you are trying to make?

Are you singling out something that should be taken for granted in the 21st century?

What is the point? It sounds like, "I didn't hit a granny this week! how do the detractors that had a go at me last week for hitting a granny feel about this?

I’m increasingly suspecting the Take the Knee idea is outdated, especially when not universally done within a team, and is sending out the wrong signals. Perhaps the clapping was a sign the fans support equality and wanted to make it known in a different way.

I fear the Every Action has a Reaction rebound on BLM and Taking the Knee- it’s time to move on and discuss and change and stop token gestures.

As for teams walking off the pitch because, reportedly, an official from another country points out a black player sitting amongst a group of white players by colour- is that really racist? Would anybody call it racist the other way around?

It is time to have proper joined up conversations about racism, the proper conversation about slavery and the boundaries of tolerance rewritten.

well said. And funnily enough QPR, possibly the most diverse club in the country, have not been taking the knee this season, Les Ferdinand their director of football is against it and his thoughts on it are easy enough to find online rather than me repeating them here

There is probally a grown up debate to be had about the whole issue.

Booing it was probally not the best way to go about it but I'm quite surprised what millwall did.

To demonstrate that they were free to do so if they liked, that was not an empty gesture and the Millwall fans applauded both sets of players

Why are you highlighting what should be normal behaviour as good?

Did you think the original booing was acceptable?

I couch this in the caveat that I know nothing of football in the UK but....I think the media are keen to make the supporters the racists for booing whereas they may have been indicating that the point’s been taken and is time to move on.

It feels like the gesture is stuck and it’ll become meaningless soo but worse, provoke a backlash. Time for that discussion about the future is NOW.

We've finally got you down to what you should have posted in the first place, "I'm not racist but don't like the knee"????

Did you see the brief that Millwall gave the fans it probably had a lot more to do with siege mentality, media scrutiny and the fear of being banned than the above.

Now will you kindly grow up and stop posting thing like this and insinuations against people you don't like politically despite putting forward the notion that you are neutral.

Of Course I do, but that just isn't the point you are trying to make. If it was quote him. You are trying to excuse the original actions.

Because it is confusing politics with equality and not all players want to kneel but feel compelled to do so. Did you not read the other thread

Not all players have to do it, it's up to them! I do think it's lost its meaning a bit however but booing it isn't the answer and trying to say that Millwall fans were booing it on a purely political basis is living in cloud cuckoo land. Some may have but come on be realistic.

What would you do to combat discrimination in the game?

Did the England team players choose to give a Nazi salute in 1938? What do you think would have happened to any player that didn't?

What would I do? I don't know I'm not involved closely enough with football but for a start I would listen to people like Les Ferdinand before listening to what BLM have to say

First step is to prove it, second to deal with it, third is to have discussions on a wider stage that are not proscriptive but educating and fourth, make it general.

It is an absolute fallacy that racial abuse is one sided- I’ve personally been called some pretty awful things in Te Reo, Urdu, Romanian and French among others. (Work based I hasten to add). It happens, it shouldn’t but it’s a trait that isn’t pleasant. Yes, I know the racial issues and tensions are problems but having a rigid one way system will simply not work.

Wait a minute. This other guy is actually arguing that the racists who were booing people making an anti racist gesture. Are in fact. Not racists, and would have joined them.

Flabbergasted.

Did the England team players choose to give a Nazi salute in 1938? What do you think would have happened to any player that didn't?

What would I do? I don't know I'm not involved closely enough with football but for a start I would listen to people like Les Ferdinand before listening to what BLM have to say "

The foreign office advised them do it for diplomatic reasons.

Pesky facts again.

"I couch this in the caveat that I know nothing of football in the UK but....I think the media are keen to make the supporters the racists for booing whereas they may have been indicating that the point’s been taken and is time to move on.

It feels like the gesture is stuck and it’ll become meaningless soo but worse, provoke a backlash. Time for that discussion about the future is NOW.

Some people tried to suggest it was a political protest but millwall and some other clubs have had issues around racism for years.

Nobody is denying issues around racism.

So why didn't they boo the other night?

We've finally got you down to what you should have posted in the first place, "I'm not racist but don't like the knee"????

Did you see the brief that Millwall gave the fans it probably had a lot more to do with siege mentality, media scrutiny and the fear of being banned than the above.

Now will you kindly grow up and stop posting thing like this and insinuations against people you don't like politically despite putting forward the notion that you are neutral.

PMSL

Do you not even listen to what people like Les Ferdinand are saying? No I don't like players taking the knee, does that make me a racist?

Would you have booed?

Absolutely!!

Why?

Because it is confusing politics with equality and not all players want to kneel but feel compelled to do so. Did you not read the other thread

Have you heard of Goodwin's law? Les Ferdinand was basically saying it's lost it's meaning, he did not say he disagreed with the sentiment so lets clear that up.

Wait a minute. This other guy is actually arguing that the racists who were booing people making an anti racist gesture. Are in fact. Not racists, and would have joined them.

Flabbergasted."

So the people who were booing are racists are they?

"I couch this in the caveat that I know nothing of football in the UK but....I think the media are keen to make the supporters the racists for booing whereas they may have been indicating that the point’s been taken and is time to move on.

It feels like the gesture is stuck and it’ll become meaningless soo but worse, provoke a backlash. Time for that discussion about the future is NOW.

Some people tried to suggest it was a political protest but millwall and some other clubs have had issues around racism for years.

Nobody is denying issues around racism.

So why didn't they boo the other night?

We've finally got you down to what you should have posted in the first place, "I'm not racist but don't like the knee"????

Did you see the brief that Millwall gave the fans it probably had a lot more to do with siege mentality, media scrutiny and the fear of being banned than the above.

Now will you kindly grow up and stop posting thing like this and insinuations against people you don't like politically despite putting forward the notion that you are neutral.

PMSL

Do you not even listen to what people like Les Ferdinand are saying? No I don't like players taking the knee, does that make me a racist?

Would you have booed?

Absolutely!!

Why?

Because it is confusing politics with equality and not all players want to kneel but feel compelled to do so. Did you not read the other thread

Not all players have to do it, it's up to them! I do think it's lost its meaning a bit however but booing it isn't the answer and trying to say that Millwall fans were booing it on a purely political basis is living in cloud cuckoo land. Some may have but come on be realistic.

What would you do to combat discrimination in the game?

Wait a minute. This other guy is actually arguing that the racists who were booing people making an anti racist gesture. Are in fact. Not racists, and would have joined them.

Flabbergasted.

So the people who were booing are racists are they?

I rarely reply to trolls.

However I put it to you, or I put the question out there generally.

What kind of person gets upset and angry about people making a gesture which is against racism:

A. Normal people.

B. Racists.

The gesture is not simply against racism though is it so maybe you need to educate yourself or ask another question "

It is in the football context

Did the England team players choose to give a Nazi salute in 1938? What do you think would have happened to any player that didn't?

What would I do? I don't know I'm not involved closely enough with football but for a start I would listen to people like Les Ferdinand before listening to what BLM have to say

The foreign office advised them do it for diplomatic reasons.

Pesky facts again.

Advised? You mean ordered"

No advised by their own gmnt

And even if they had refused.. what do you think would have happened?

How many times? Taking the knee is also seen as a political gesture and players are coerced into doing it for the sake of their careers even if they are uncomfortable with it. And if anyone ever told me that I had to kneel to prove I wasn't racist or against racism then frankly I would become a racist. But you be a good boy and carry on kneeling. How long before you have to bow

Like most informed people I suspect the fans that boo'd were fed up of watching players support a bunch of insincere activists calling to defund the police. I suspect they were sick of seeing the police get violently attacked by BLM protesters or the cenotaph being graffitied and the union jack set on fire

Maybe that's why they clapped at this match and boo'd at the grovelling dingbats kneeling at the last game

Not really. A poll in the Guardian found that 55% of respondents thought BLM had made racial tensions worse. 44% of BAME people thought that they had made things worse too

Players took the knee at clubs up and down the country but the only large scale protest was at a club,where as recently as 2 years ago they were fined for racist chanting.

But yeah,I'm sure it was a political protest.

Racists are still free to boo. There's no law against it. And they're free to kick these people out and ban them from attending matches.

They can stand outside booing, or they can watch the Vicar of Dibley and boo.

This is how the world works.

Racists are still free to boo. There's no law against it. And they're free to kick these people out and ban them from attending matches.

They can stand outside booing, or they can watch the Vicar of Dibley and boo.

This is how the world works.

I'm not saying they are not free to boo. I'm responding to the criticism of it. And of course they're free to kick them out and accuse them of being racist with no justification. That's the tolerance of opposing views for you eh "

I'm comfortable not tolerating racist views.

That's because most black folk have seen through BLM and their intention to divide society along racial lines. Its mostly gullible white people that are falling over themselves to signal their virtuous credentials. So cringeworthy its toe curling

What are you basing that on exactly, seeing as most footy players have backed carrying it on?
