His exact quotes were: Patrick Vieira claims he has been made to feel uncomfortable in Warsaw and believes there is a "lack of education" in Poland. The former Arsenal midfielder also thinks that Uefa have missed the boat for tackling racism at the tournament. Vieira told ITV: "I have been here for two or three days now and I feel strange walking around this city (Warsaw). “You can feel there is not so many black people around and people look at you strange. I feel there is a lack of education of this country." It's not a case of being too white for his tastes, he's clearly talking about the way he is being treated by others. It is well known that there is a far right, racist element to some of the football hooligan groups out in Eastern Europe. If you think what he has said there is an extreme view, certainly in light of the action that organisations such as UEFA have had to take in Poland against racism and a Panorama documentary at the time which showed the below, then you really don't know the meaning of the word. "Panorama spent a month filming at matches in both the joint host nations and witnessed Nazi salutes from the terraces, black players being taunted with monkey chants, rampant anti-Semitism and a vicious assault on a group of Asian students." In a statement, Uefa said: "Uefa Euro 2012 brings the spotlight on the host countries and clearly creates an opportunity to address and confront such societal issues. So looking at Eastern Europe should mako people appreciate how tolerant Britain is and stop banging on about racism. The problem with the idealist model is that people never just want to be just equal or accepted. At some point, they want power and ultimately, they want to be in charge. Even those who don't get co opted to serve someone else's agenda. All these people who preach 'diversity' and promote White guilt will not be around to explain to the dwindling future Northern European generations as to how they became second class citizens and a minority in continents they once called their own. Taking the knee was always political. Only the gullible convinced themselves that they weren't used as puppets. They really believed that it was all about good intentions.

Always entertaining to read the ‘opinions’ of a bunch of middle aged racists and I’m so not surprised to see the usual suspects all over this. Thanks guys, you never disappoint. Berlinpalace is right - you lot bring shame to our club. No better than the scum down the road.

If you have a point to make about specific posts then make them. The casual comment , ‘you are a racist’, because you don’t like what someone posts is just an easy populist comment to make without any substance.

Do you seriously think that a few idiots on the internet deserves the total overkill of anti racism campaigning in the sporting media? Do you actually believe that it is all unbiased or sincere?

I think if they still want to take the knee it’s entirely up to them. Quite why Hralf and some of the others get quite so obsessed about it is just weird.

No, it’s a chat on a football website so try and make it interesting. The knee taking is a waste of everyone’s time, always has been. There are much more important things players could do to drive racism out of the game. Their actions as with your post is just a lightweight response.

Yeah correct don't worry about a random troll on social media that has however many billions of accounts, let's take saka for example, how many abusive tweets did he receive after the euros, 20 or something, then had a standing ovation by Tottenham fans in a preseason friendly and then a standing ovation at Brentford, so maybe abuse from 20 random trolls, standing ovation from 50k, it's only a big problem because tabloids and media obsess over it for cheap click bate.

If the England team fails to take the knee at the World Cup then all this kneeling & hand wringing for Saint Floyd will have been for nothing. As far as leftist movements go BLM has to be one of the worst & probably created more racists than it actually 'educated' away from it. And please do not lecture me on how it was rebranded away from BLM - different slogan same rotten movement. The whole thing has been a disaster.

So the usual minority pundits on SKY Sports think that stopping the weekly taking of the knee is all wrong. Once upon a time, we heard how Black footballers were so few and far between. Now we are hearing that they don't get to board level. Can anyone see a pattern here? Sky Sports News is spreading a purely anti White propaganda campaign. It seems to want White people to step aside and hand over jobs and power to minorities. It's that simple. They want to use White guilt to make us feel like we owe them something, when almost no one wanted vast numbers of immigrants here in the first place.
All I can say is “wow”

On the point about lack of representation in the board room I don't see this a racist more like money related. If a black person turned up at their local club with a sack load of money wanting to become a shareholder I would imagine they would welcome him with open arms. So the question is why do black people not want to become directors and invest their money, maybe because they have better things to do with it.
