Open your eyes man to reality. I don’t like it the same as you and all the lads on here, but I’m not so dumb that I can’t see what’s going on. I will support the team in whatever they do to combat this shite in any way that’s possible. If there were sports organizations that had the fucking cojones to do something about it we would already be in a better place. I still don't get your point. If you as an individual think something doesn't make a difference, our players and support should should all give up? Imagine how that would have worked in Northern Ireland. The taigs keep letting bombs off. Being British isn't working. Let's surrender. Should I stop voting for pro Unionist parties and let the snp force independence through? My vote has not worked in 15 years. Won' t give up for my cause though. Every single voice matters. Surrendering is the way of the coward imo. But I am an asshole.

The Dude 20,026 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 2 minutes ago, DiamondDan said: Regardless of whether you support it or whether you oppose it, it's quite clearly a gesture which divides people, this thread is evidence of that. I don't think the players should be embracing a gesture which promotes division, when instead We should be united. If Tav says its not aligned to any support for an organisation that wrecked our cities last summer then fair enough, but its hard for people to disassociate from that, as that's the context it was imported into our country. It seems strange that the less racist this country gets, the more we are pressured to accept that things have never been so bad. It feels as if we are continually force fed a narrative that we are a nation full of the most racist people about, when in reality we are probably in the top 5 most tolerant countries in the planet. If players taking a knee makes racists feel excluded, then that's only a good thing. TamCoopz, ForeverAndEver and BlueSuedeSambas 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

berkshirebear 2,988 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Someone on here earlier arguing against booing, used the phrase coloured. This can be seen as a a racist phrase (i know he didnt meant that) but some people would take that the wrong way, which shows you shouldnt assume other peoples intentions.

MarcusDa Beasley 1,048 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Despite what’s been said previously this issue definitely hasn’t caused a divide in our support. It’s just helped to bring half a dozen racist Sun-reading simpletons out the woodwork. And they say taking the knee doesn’t achieve anything… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Can't believe some of the comments in here. If you ask 99% of people in the UK why people take the knee before a sporting game, they will say to fight against racism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
