How come there isn't a thread for this ?

Is it because they've revealed their true colours, excuse the deliberate pun.

Folk were warned re their true intentions, but as always called racist by the naive.

This

 

From the UK BLM web site 

Protesting is a Human Right

 

Both in common law and the Human Rights Act 1998

Article 11 of the European Convention of Human Rights provides freedom of assembly. This means that every individual, regardless of cause has the right to protest, march or demonstrate in a public space.

The players kneel, the fans boo, crack on 

The main discussion point on Saturday was, are Millwall right to boo or not, many people indicating that it’s a racist act 

The players should be able to support whatever they want but the fans should be allowed to object given it’s a highly divisive political subject

 

 

if you pay you have an opinion

no body has any time for racism here 

its archaic but some people IMO just want to stir stuff  (god knows why)

but our Saturdays at matches are a form of escapism ,we dont need any kind of politics to take over and destroy our entertainment

i  havent seen a politician of any party in either house TAKE THE KNEE  before the start  of proceedings

do you spend your whole day shuffling about like Toulouse Lautrec

yah fucking idiot

I don't give a fuck whether anyone kneels or not. It's up to them. I certainly wouldn't abuse a person for kneeling down., and I'd think anyone who abused that person for kneeling definitely had "issues".

Yah thick fuck.

This is perhaps a separate discussion, but - is a football stadium a public space, legally?

I'd argue not.

I’ve yet to see one club come out and say “our players are in no way kneeling in support of BLM, it’s not something the club supports”

I think you're deliberatley ignoring the words "public space".

Why should they? Does your boss release statements about your personal beliefs?

This may come as a surprise to you - Footballers are not Politicians...

The whole discussion is predominantly about Millwall fans.

Youve been offered reasons as to why they booed, youve been offered the situation that occurred afterwards. You choose to ignore any of this and just say those that booed or anyone else that opposes the taking of the knee is a full blown racist.

You been offered valid reason why people think it shouldnt happen. Again not good enough. 

Regarding the wider issues, again you ignore all valid reasons as to why we probably shouldn't be soley focussing on just this part of racism. Again you ignore this. Time and time again birch provides data and facts to suggest theres more to the debate that just white privilege rules.

 

Your getting offended on somebody elses behalf. 

Open your mind.

Because it’s fairly obvious from this thread and what’s been happening around the country that many people are under the impression that the kneeling is for BLM, if the club came Out and denounced it surely it would then be clear.

Absolutely aghast

I don't think this thread has much impact on the wider world mate. What if clubs came out and said "We and the players do not condone vandalism or graffiti"? Would that be enough?

You asked why should the club come out say that. It’s quite a simple answer just for you. Some Fans of some clubs think kneeling is supporting BLM, how hard is it for the club to say kneeling is  not? 

footballers

politicians

footballers
