Jimfanciesthedude 24,327 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I dont think the booing is for the anti racism aspect of the taking of the knee, its more for what its perceived to stand for, and thats the black lives matter movement which has in some form been infiltrated unfortunately by the wrong people who have questionable morals (the argument about taking the knee symbolising the BLM movement is for another topic and tbh no one will win that argument) Football for what its worth had the "show racism the red card" it had its own anti racism policy in place that has everything needed in terms of message and a togetherness with all players coming together to support it, but it consistently falls flat due to uefa being utter shitebags, nothing will change that aspect unfortunately, not taking a knee or anything If people wish to boo the BLM movement and its links to taking the knee, surely that is their right, however if people are booing through genuine racism then you have to wonder about them given the makeup of our squad Jacklondon and slimjim1690 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Wright >>>>> - Lundstram is the big, physical centre mid we've been calling out for. Some engine on him We dominated the ball and should have won (never a FK against Hagi) I agree with everything about your post mate except the fans booing. I think a lot of the fans that boo now are frustrated as this taking the knee has not had the desired effect. It’s like the sentiment has been watered down and is just a “oh here we go again” sort of thing. Taking the knee is having little effect on racism. How long have athletes been doing this and what have been the effects. Look at the young lads from England that missed the penalties. Taking the knee didn’t help them. Something else needs tackled here. slimjim1690 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there was a protest at the Rashford Mural, for the supposedly racist graffiti, “shite in a bucket” and a drawing of a cock??? BLM we’re prominent in the crowd. I wish our players wouldn’t do it but I wouldn’t boo them. Hadron Collider, slimjim1690 and Jimfanciesthedude 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post left winger 13,897 Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 I genuinely find it hard to believe that anyone booing today believes that the players are doing anything other than protesting against racism - racism many of them have faced. No one can surely believe that the taking of the knee by these, and every other footballer who does it, is in support of some Marxist ideology. These players have said why they are taking the knee. I can only think of two reasons for booing the taking of the knee - one is that those booing are just fucking thick. The other is that they're racist.

Brackley Bluenose 4,478 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 After the England debacle it’s quite obvious why players feel they should continue to take a stand and rightly so. I would question anybody’s morals that has a problem with people making a stand against racism. Also, not really a great start when we are trying to get Goldson to sign a new contract and some of his own fans are churning out that shite. Absolutely no need. don logan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuckthespl 2,404 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I missed the start so can't comment on the what happened with taking the knee. My thoughts on taking the knee are that it has turned into a novelty with no single meaning. Some think its political so object because of the aims of BLM. Others go along in support of the players and there may be other reasons. Its turned into a conflicting issue where I am sure there is no ill will towards any of the players but people may be getting tired of being lectured at so it could be having the opposite effect. In my uneducated opinion I would like for it to stop, assume most people are decent characters and deal with anyone that actually does something racist rather than always pontificating to the crowds. Edit: just to add I would never support booing a player, even after bad results. Hadron Collider 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
