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

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


Taking the Knee represents USA Political BLM

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

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

So what’s the issue with the players kneeling then? If we’re free to express ourselves peacefully?

everyone knows fine well what the issue is, it is the connection with the far left political group BLM in SPORT and if people dont like it, they can express their opinion peacefully, which they have

I agree, no issue from me, im not bothered who kneels and who doesn't. But it should work both ways. If a player, or team chooses not to then that should be respected, you (not you) can't brand players or countries racist if they decide they don't want to take the knee.
