It’s hardly a surprise and I doubt Millwall were the only fans to boo today. They’ve made the headlines due to the clubs reputation. Sadly there will always be a very small minority of racists, which I don’t think can ever be eradicated. It’s pretty reasonable to suggest that a lot of the British public are sick of being force fed this left wing movement. Never have I heard a racist comment at football match, you might get a handful of incidents over a Premier League season where some drunk moron shouts racist abuse, which becomes the games talking point. It certainly wasn’t a major problem in the UK before BLM - I fear the movement is having the opposite effect as was intended. The PL & FA have made a clanger introducing politics into football. 99.9% support the Kick It Out Campaign, but I’d guess the BLM is a pretty even split and driving a wedge between supporters/society. A can of worms has been opened, the PL can’t really pull out now because they’ll be deemed racist if they do, but I can see this causing trouble if they persist with full stadiums.

Words I never thought I would write...well done Millwall.

No room for booing in my book. Do you know the colour of some posters on here.

They should have also turned their back whilst booing as more of a sign to say they don't want to see the BLM movement envolved in football

Taking the knee was a con. Well done, you persuaded footballers to get down on a knee but at the end of the day all we are interested in is booting out racism, not showing support for a facist organisation. Let’s get back to the important stuff like kicking out racism, not supporting organisations that want to defund our Police and pitch white against black. That says it all for me!!

The players taking a knee is about anti-racism. If you boo it you are a racist. It really is that simple.
