Originally posted by DanH Some of you. Unfortunately quite a lot people on here have an issue with both - that's the real problem.

As I pointed out earlier, some of our owners are staunch Brexiteers, so how can you support Palace then?

Originally posted by Spiderman Is it or it it, as several have been trying to point out, a demonstration against the support of BLM? I don’t know why all of them booed, neither do you. We can all surmise. Again I will stress, so please try to take this on board, most on here are supporting some sort of anti-discrimination ( note discrimination not just racism) gesture but, whether you and certain others on here like it or not, taking the knee is aligned with support of BLM But several players and clubs have come out and clarified that it is not a support of BLM - it is purely anti-racism/equality gesture. Yet people are still using it as a fig leaf to try and cloak their barely disguised racism. There's also a surprising amount of experts on Marxism about in the football stands.

I find it extremely hard to believe that people booing are doing it because they believe that players are showing support for the BLM organisation in the US. It's an excuse. And wanting to leave the EU is fine, being racist is not.

Yet people are still using it as a fig leaf to try and cloak their barely disguised racism. There's also a surprising amount of experts on Marxism about in the football stands. Give me strength. I will try one last time, because of the way taking the knee was initially covered by the media, it was most definitely aligned with support of BLM, fact. People attending BLM took the knee to show their support, the Police kneeled at a BLM demonstration. Can you honestly not see where the connection comes from? The fact clubs/ players are now saying different, IMO is something they should have said initially. Did any of them say “ we are not taking the knee in support of BLM?” No, they had BLM on their shirts, Sky had BLM on the screen ( still do), it really is not that difficult if you are prepared to drop the accusations of racism against everyone who disagrees, and just think about it

I'm delighted to see young Black men doing well. It's better than criminality. Trouble is that you just can't accept that 'racism' is universal and that many of the people who complain about racism are racists themselves by their own definitions.

Originally posted by Wisbech Eagle That some think it has outlived its usefulness and ought to be retired is fine too, just as if anyone didn't wish to participate in the first place. People can make up their own minds. Goodness me, that's one of a very few sentences you have posted with which I entirely agree. I wish you'd said it earlier. Not that it has stopped the bickering going on for several more pages!

And wanting to leave the EU is fine, being racist is not. You may find it hard but I suspect many, not all, we’re doing it for exactly that reason. So wanting to leave the EU is fine, when it applies to our owners, whereas I may be wrong but you have probably called those that voted to leave, racists, in previous threads on here

OK Dan, I'll say I find the booing, particularly by Millwall, a little distasteful. I'm actually fed up with mentioning such a bunch of knuckle draggers this much. However, I believe in freedom of expression, which I guess means that if footballers particularly want to kneel we have to put up with it. Conversely, if any fans want to boo, the FA and footballers have to put up with it - without shouting racist, or calling for sanctions/bans. I was personally thinking of turning my back on it but I guess that would be racist in the opinion of more forward thinking people, like yourself, Sky and Gary Lineker. Red and Blue Army!

It's obviously linked to the initial BLM protests but I think it's pretty obvious to most that it's just an anti-racism gesture now. That second part is quite an offensive supposition. I would never call someone a racist purely because they said they wanted to leave the EU. Some wanted to leave for racist/xenophobic reasons, yes, but of course I do not think everyone who wanted to is a racist.
