Did you belong to The Red Brigades?

No, the fundamental argument here is not disrespect, it stems from whether the original gesture was acceptable to the people of this country. You say most say it is, I would say most say it is not, and not because they are racist but because they associate the symbol with the organisation that tore down statues, defaced the Cenotaph, rioted in the streets, campaigned for defunding the Police etc etc. The players utilising that symbol either didn’t realise or didn’t care that it symbolises far more than just the fight against racism and it is this that people are booing and not the players themselves.

You have already laid out your argument about BLM and what it is, but on this point we fundamentally disagree as do the majority on here.

Sports fans don’t want political gestures rammed down their throats every time they go to a sporting event but if you were speak to each individually they will be united that kicking out racism is a good thing. On that basis alone, removing the knee and replacing it with a football related theme, which they already had, kick it out or boot it out, is far more appropriate.

As for booing, players are used to that if they play rubbish and I’ve never seen anyone be thrown out of a match for booing, it is the only tool the fans have for showing their displeasure at something and clearly, large numbers of the fans were not happy with what they were seeing.

You can argue all you like that they are wrong and you are right but you are one person, they are many and they are just as entitled to an opinion as you.

I have to say I didn’t like the alternative inequality banner, it didn’t look right with the in crossed out, however the sentiment of all the players together around a banner for a pre match photo certainly has my support and I’m pretty sure everyone else would be behind it.

Football supporting anti-racism is great, but keep sport and politics separate.

What riots? You really are something else. You’re like the Arsene Wenger of politics and societal studies. ‘’ I didn’t see it.’’ Well millions did and they didn’t like what happened or was allowed to happen, by the police, Cressida Dickhead and Sadiq Khant do anything apart from ruin London.

The Millwall fans decided themselves on their football forum of what to do. I read it yesterday and Monday. They also had 700 guests on there all day. Probably many journalists etc. You’ve taken the MSM version. It did make me chuckle when I tuned in on sky sports just before the match to hear the 2 pundits describe the club’s statement as a ‘’cop out.’’ This will be the same media being a part of the problem in getting us to where we are. No doubt they will go 24/7 on the 4th official racist like they did with the 2 Bob east European country I can’t even remember giving Sterling vile abuse. We get non stop racist broadcasts as if we’re racist morons, which we aren’t.

The fans on the Millwall forum agreed that they would ignore QPR players because if they didn’t they’d be hung for it as a club by football or the media. It had nothing to do with individual repercussions. They still disagree with it all. They said if their own players knelt they’d have to boo. They said they’ve made their point and people have sat up and taken notice, which they have, but at least 4 other teams did it and not much of a mention, but they did with Millwall because that story could be reported as racist more or at all considering the other clubs.

So the fans got their players to not kneel and the fans themselves decided to bite their tongues on qpr players rather than your MSM version that they were pressured into it by the club and cctv. The QPR players tried to provoke them when they scored and I see you agree that the fist salute is provocative.

What I did also read was some posting and agreeing to see it from Romeo’s point of view. They will view him as wrong, but they understand he might feel hurt by what’s happened, and he’s their captain and one of them as he was before all of this regardless of his race because race doesn’t come into being part of a football club, and that’s part of people’s annoyance at this.

The reason I ask is that someone, on another forum I use, posted a leaflet from the National Front published in the 1970s. It read "STOP IMMIGRATION, REJECT the Common Market, RESTORE capital punishment, MAKE Britain great again, SCRAP overseas aid, REBUILD our armed forces.

The NF was widely regarded as pseudo-fascist back then but how much of this wish list is now on the agenda of people like you?

How far to the right has the right side of Britsh politics now drifted?

Which of those policies do you NOT agree with?

BS. The only issue is whether booing a sincere gesture was disrespectful.

Whether you think that gesture wise, or whether you agree with the thinking behind it or not, are other matters.

You don't boo people like that. You boo refs and opposition players. That's part of the fun. But not people who want to show they care. It destroys their connection to the fans.

Your argument was lost before it was raised because it addresses the wrong question.

My own question was a simple one. You can choose not to answer. Your silence may be regarded by some as an admission. I cannot control that.
