Traf Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) It's a 7-second gesture that really shouldn't even be registering on any scale of annoyance. The longer it gets booed, the longer they'll persist with it, they can't just stop doing it because that suggests the booing from a few middle-aged white men is more important than reminding everyone that discrimination in all forms is wrong.

Do you know how that would feel? It was booed at Newcastle today. Sky ignored it naturally but you could hear it plain as day. To be honest I never heard it on the stream for our game yesterday so lot louder today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I’d hope the booers take it upon on board that you look like a racist when you boo it and take it on board that it’s a stand against racism not support of BLM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That IS how it began, it's how it's perceived by many. It doesn't help that a fair proportion of the black players kneeling are now adding the black power salute to it. Coz that IS sinister & removes the "it's nothing more than an anti-racism stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we got to a stage where folk are dickheads because you don’t agree with their point of view. Fucks me right off. Boooooo! 😘😂 so - you’re fine with people having a view against the knee… ..but you’re not fine with someone having a view against those who are against the knee?

You realise the clenched fist isn’t a black power symbol but a symbol of solidarity, strength and unity. It doesn’t make them black panthers.
