…and they’re not at the match unless you yourself are personally placing those politics at the match in your own mindset in a way to dismiss a simple equality support/anti racism gesture because enough is enough with this darn equality, let’s limit and restrict it, please…supporting a gesture is not supporting a movement and any and all politics attached or unattached to it…the players understand this and the federation understands this and apparently the government understand this as well as they’ve nodded their support of the gesture today and I would hope that most of the fans support it….so you can repeat to me, Arista…but it won’t change that taking the knee is not political….it’s an equality gesture and those who boo it are booing what it stands for…they’re booing equality and anti racism….

yes

they will take the knee when they play the England game in solidarity

I think taking the knee is too mixed up with other issues, and it comes from America. they should come up with their own gesture which might have more impact tbh

People are more offended by people kneeling than by the racism being protested against, it’s still shocking

Why don’t they ask all the fans to cheer wildly whilst they’re kneeling and simply drown out the boos ?

the knee was booed a lot even if the BBC played fake crowd cheers on top and pretended we could not hear all the booing

isn't it a bit silly when gareth and the FA want to stop something as trivial as a boo. We live in a free society where people are still allowed to express their opinions in a peaceful manner
