Taking the knee does nothing for me personally, but as long as there is racism in football, i see nothing wrong with drawing attention and support for the cause. The booing just shows that there is still a long way to go

That said, football fans never STOP singing, chanting and group gesturing so it's a bit hypocritical in this case, and I imagine most of them are booing because they don't like the message, rather than the method. |

Without the players taking the knee there wouldn't be something to boo. So, a poor defence of racism there.

If yoy've contorted a reason that the booing is a positive thing for anti-racism campaigning then there is no issue with taking the knee. Last edited by Marsh.; 06-12-2020 at 09:40 AM. |

You said I had a poor defence for racism I’m not defending racism I’m saying when acts of racism are shown it does more for the fact racism is unacceptable that people taking the knee.

it is kinda unacceptable those fans are booing their own players for just doing a good thing, being against racism
i hope the UEFA hasn't seen this (cuz if so, and they are very much anti-racism, i can see the team being fined for the actions of the supporters, since UEFA wants best behaviour possible from all fans) chants, singing, cheering is allowed, as long as it's not racist, homophobic or insulting with diseases or rude |

And personally I don't get why people are so against not wanting to chant racist stuff at a player. Unless you're (not you specifically) are a racist.

As in the actions of government, the media, the police.. there is discrimination from the top down, how can one guy throwing a couple of thousand quid address and tackle subjects like Windrush, stop and search, deaths in custody, demonisation... they can't, he'll be mocked as a virtue signaller or SJW and nothing will change. Footballers are people first, just like the piss and shiz cleaners, they want change but they are not the change..That's why we have policy and law makers, that's their job.

That's a bit harsh to the Millwall fans that didn't boo.

They have galvanised, protested, petitioned or in other way's adopted symbols of solidarity. For me these have meaning, they are a precursor to real change and most progressive policies and systems of rights we have today initially involved groups who garnered public support with chants and mantras. So personally I think it's great to see higher profile people sending out this kind of message, they have a greater reach and fan base to raise awareness, this in turn puts pressure on the powers that be to address the status quo. I agree that those booing aren't too bothered about the method shown here, as you say they just don't want to see support for this cause. We could suggest reasons why... but that would be speculation of course.

They’ve tolerated all kinds of nonsense/abuse from their fellow fans for over 20 years.. maybe it’s time they did something about the problem themselves.. Presumably the ‘bad uns’ all have family , friends or work colleagues who go to the games and never cause any problems Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

It's a shame there's not an organisation other than BLM for celebs to get behind. When they trigger violent riots after a black guy was shot for running at the cops with a knife, it's clear they just want an excuse to riot.

“The players have come out and said they don’t support the political aspect, but they do support the anti-discrimination aspect of it … The club does an enormous amount of work on anti-racism.”

Milwall supporters are a bunch of racist violent scum anyway. I don't even follow football but that club's reputation is just that gross.
