It's only slander if they're not a prick ( libel is written ). Proving someone is a prick would be I suggest complicated. Originally posted by PalazioVecchio
In a court of law you can get done for slander or libel for calling somebody a prick. you cannot get done for booing. so who is the worse ? the boo boys at Millwall, or the member who calls them pricks ?
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

Do you know the colour of some posters on here. No idea, I just post an opinion - if the club and players are happy to participate, I don't want the gesture booed.

I agree about the booing but inevitably, there will be a time and a place when such pre match gestures reach saturation point and possibly overstay their welcome. Maybe we are reaching that point?

Anyone who has any sympathy with the decision not to support an organisation which is anarchic, anti semitic and marxist is clearly a racist gammon etc etc..........or just a person who doesn't support racist , anarchic anti semites. However, the PL is now modifying the language commentators have to use to " racism in all it's forms " after it was pointed out to them that BLM UK is an racist,anarchic, anti semitic organisation. The legacy problem is that " taking the knee " is solely associated with BLM and a different action is required to show support against " racism in all it's forms ". Sky Sports didn't get the memo and persist with the BLM signs. Booing is not the optimal way to get the message across. How about a slogan like “kick it out”?

I agree, IMO the kneeling should not have continued this season. The point had been made. MOTD persisting in showing the kneeling before their highlights takes it beyond saturation point

Not necessarily naive but misled by the media and their coverage. Why insist on calling the poster naive? because he happens to have a different view to you? Worst kind of “white” person!! WTF Read the comment being responded to and it will be clear.

My guess is that if fans had been in grounds at the beginning of this take the knee thing it would not have got off the ground. Posts on here show there are plenty who don’t agree with it and that will be all over the country. I suspect it will shortly end.
