Obviously it’s interlinked but do you honestly think everyone taking the knee is doing so for the organisation’s cause rather than an anti-racist cause?

Do you think the England players who gave the Nazi salute before a game against Germany in the 30's understood the full implications of National Socialism?

Or course not. But that does not stop it being a specifically political gesture.

Football had plenty of anti-racism programmes in place. Kneeling in this manner is a very specific show of support for a very specific political movement. At least grant BLM the respect of acknowledging that.

If a rabid-right wing lunatic like me can do that, surely somebody as caring and sympathetic as yourself can offer them the same courtesy?

Dan you seem to dislike most things English, does this not make you racist? What is your opinion of Israel/Israelis? I suspect I know, does this make you a racist? Works all ways you know

Aryian levels of puritanism.

The mountains are calling & I must go.

And was Neil Warnock ahead of the game?

I bet not one of the players have the slightest bit of control over what is on their shirts. I also would bet that very few, if any, have any knowledge of the BLM political movement and those that do have no sympathy for it.

Very few people in the UK are aware of the political beliefs of the BLM organisation. They have sympathy for the concept and make the assumption that the two things are identical. It may be naive but not everybody follows politics that closely.

I would suggest by not acknowledging this you are the worst kind of "white" person. You are certainly naive.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.
