It's just I'm never a fan of collective punishment, I've said it when we had people like Gary Neville and Alan Shearer encouraging this logic when one Blues fan attacked Jack Grealish a couple of seasons ago, and I'll defend Millwall and the innocent fans that didn't boo in this incident. Punish the individual/individuals in these incidents, don't punish everyone involved with the club.



Well with so few attending the club can easily identify the culprits.. let’s see if they bother ..

I join the Millwall fans in booing.

Booo!

I can show you hundreds of Black lives that don't matter to the Black Lives Matter cult. Which makes them a scam.

Alf 06-12-2020 09:00 PM

Isn't this Sasha Johnson lady the leader of Black Lives Matter UK?

I mean, Jeremy Corbyn was quite extreme, but this political party leader is something else.

This is who and what you're supporting. I'm sure you're very proud of yourselves?

Because the whole conversation is just muddled and nobody who's criticising the kneel seems to know who tf they're even criticising. Unless it's all anti-racist organisations, in which case... they're probably racist :unsure:

...you just keep repeating the same thing, Arista...’BLM are troublemakers’ are your thoughts ...but BLM has no bearing on this whatsoever...to boo a gesture that represents anti racism is just unfathomable as to why that would be done...for those who don’t wish to join the gesture, then that’s their prerogative...but to actually take the action of booing is to boo equality and anti discrimination in sport...

[BLM has no bearing on this whatsoever...to boo a gesture

Please Note Ammi
I am talking about BLM Political group.


Black Lives Matter has increased racial tension, 55% say in UK poll
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...say-in-uk-poll


[The secretive British branch of Black Lives Matter
lost me before some of its supporters
started attacking statues,
including the iconic figure of
Churchill in Parliament Square,
and attempting to burn the Union flag on the Cenotoph.
Even before its followers proclaimed
on the Web that the movement’s true aim was,
among other, things to “dismantle capitalism”
and “abolish the police”.

It was the very title Black Lives Matter that put me off.]

...please note, Arista...taking the knee, which was being booed by some Millwall fans, has no attachment to the BLM movement at all...it was an expression of support which was established by Kick it Out, to kick racism out of sport...you’re persistently and determinedly diverting away from the anti-racist support that was being shown and that was being booed as something negative...

Its Owned
by BLM USA Political Group.
And BLM UK Political Group

So any that take a Knee
are viewed by millions
as being POLITICAL.

That is now a Fact

...it’s a fact that it’s being incorrectly attached to BLM by you, Arista ...and no use of capital letters is going to change that ..but you’re obviously determined to continue that inaccuracy so I’ll leave you to your day...

Ammi 07-12-2020 07:07 AM

...just continuing with this as you are, completely avoids looking at a racism which obviously still exists in sport and seems content to avoid that it does...and this was an opportunity to discuss it...

You are wrong
BLM Political UK are not wanted

user104658 07-12-2020 07:24 AM

I really don't think it's as simple as them all being racists to be honest, I think it has more to do with them feeling "pushed into politics" no matter how hard they try to run away from it. No of course the reality is that Jo one can run from politics, we're all swimming in a big ol' soup of it ever day, and many of us embrace that for the purposes of rousing debate and have done for many years... But your average pie-munching footie fan? He's been living (he believes) a peaceful life free from having to think about all this politics stuff for a large chunk of his life. So, now he's mad that he's being "FORCED" to think about it on a Saturday afternoon "as well as every weekday in the papers".

I get it to an extent, in some cases we're expecting people who have never had to put their brain in anything over 2nd gear to suddenly start contemplating and empathising with a whole bunch of abstract reasoning and critical thought. It probably literally hurts. Many simply won't be able to do it. They don't understand what they're seeing, they don't like how it feels, they know it isn't about them so they worry that it might somehow be against them - that's part of tribalism and that's why they're booing.

I disagree Ammi, it has been incorrectly semantically attached to BLM in the general public consciousness and that is what it is; pointing out that the link is incorrect changes nothing. They are linked, because they are linked... Perception is all that matters there. So, Arista is right to point out that people having a problem with the knee-taking symbolism is linked to their problems with BLM in general.

You are right all through again Ammi.

I find it incredible there's any defence of those who booed, or any attempt to dress up their ignorant reaction to the players of BOTH teams.
Indeed wider, all teams, as across the leagues, this is done.

To publicly boo and be disrespectful the way these individuals CHOSE to.
Shows disrespect to their team and club.
They should be identified and not permitted entry again.

It wasn't just showing disrespect to the Millwall team that they brought about, it was to ALL the players of all teams who make this gesture every week.
To show their hope to help highlight and remove racism from football.

To boo that, well some may try to dress it up and call it for other reasons.
However it's more than likely a little more sinister than that I'm afraid.

Ammi 07-12-2020 07:40 AM

...I understand and realise why you disagree, TS...but I disagree with your disagreement...:laugh:..and I’m just going to leave the non agreement place we’re at, there...if every stance against racism is ‘oh BLM and we don’t wish to give time to that’...then no discussions will ever branch and expand out beyond that starting point to address or challenge racism in any aspect of our society...(...and specific mindsets appear to be more persistently reoccurring in some areas even in 2020, so it’s beneficial to discuss that, to try to look at minimising/...preventing etc...)...I mean, that was why Kick it Out was formed...’well, BLM...well, BLM....well, BLM..’...etc etc ...is the most deliberate disabling and preventing diversion of discussing specifics in racism which have been brought up by the topic...

Hopefully they'll identify the troublemakers and improve their image a little bit.

Rubbish!

Read the second paragraph of this statement and then tell us again whom they were taking a knee for.

Unless you are happy for black players to be called monkeys or worse, I don't see how you can boo what is nothing more than a symbolic gesture against racism

Totally agree with Annie here, whatever people's opinions are on the BLM movement, a symbol for anti racism in football is very much needed

And yet they instantly came out with the rehearsed excuses that BLM is an extremist, Marxist organisation, as though the fans were debating the finer points of Das Kapital in between mouthfuls of steak and kidney.

'You're losing the plot': Piers Morgan blasts Laurence Fox again as he compares taking the knee and Nazi salutes...


Piers Morgan has slammed controversial actor Laurence Fox again, this time over suggesting footballers taking the knee was comparable to tolerating a Nazi salute.

Millwall supporters were criticised over the weekend for booing their own players as they took the knee ahead of playing Derby, an action to show solidarity against racism and in support of Black Lives Matter.

Read more: Laurence Fox scolded by The Pogues over Fairytale of New York edit complaint

The booing fans were condemned by many, including the football club, but Lewis actor Fox tweeted a provocative image of the 1938 England football team lining up for a Nazi salute captioned: “It’s happened before...Appeasement is the incorrect choice.”

Outraged Good Morning Britain host Morgan replied: “You’re comparing taking the knee as a protest against racial injustice to appeasing Nazis? SERIOUSLY??? Get a grip Laurence - you’re losing the plot.”

...that’s the thing though...in his career, you really have to be quite stand-out because it’s such a competitive thing with so many outstanding actors...and I wouldn’t really say that he’s ever been in that outstanding bit...so getting parts must be quite a hard thing...whereas being deliberately controversial, can make you stand out...like it has for Katie...so get you a career that would fulfill what you hoped for...(...for some specific characters, of which, Lawrence has shown himself to be one...)...he’s much more well known now...and to him, maybe it’s like an acting job of playing a villain and his performance gets a completely new exposure on social media and the like...:laugh:....
