And regarding Bananas at black players I don’t believe it was a racist act, was done to put off the better players, other slurs were used against white players and even Graham Taylor had a turnip chucked at him at Burnden. 🤣 Edited Wednesday at 20:10 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was never going to make any changes. Police have said folk are more aware of it now and more likely to report it. If you're trying to hint that taking the knee has caused more racism then you're clutching at straws pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the connotations behind the comedy. Aye get it on in schools I say. That'll teach the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was a blatant racist (not saying your mum was), but I loved her to bits. Times have changed. Can't see any way it isn't racist.

Not saying anything of the sort, but since it’s started, the whole George Floyd circus, BLM marches, the knee, statues in rivers etc Im personally hearing more about racism. This isn't direct racism at the match or in Street but more and more reports about it, usually on talk shows, social media etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear God I'm not the most PC person & delighted that 'the knee' is finally being put away but good grief. Chucking bananas and making monkey noises at black players was not done from a place of love.

Like when you're kid asks you why players are taking the knee? And you explain that its to show support to all people facing discrimination and we are all just human beings and no matter what colour or creed you are you should treat everyone the same? Served its purpose even this just happened once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing bananas happened rarely amongst large crowds (never seen it happen in 1000s of matches) and monkey noises was mainly younger immature fans being knobs, and those doing it in my opinion weren’t racist just being knobs, and It wasn’t as widespread as you seem to think, yes there were some racists back then same as today but it’s massively overplayed, the 2 tv comedy programmes dealing with the issue made it clear that the butt of the jokes were the thick white racists. It’s ok if you want to keep being outraged crack on, racism at football then and now massively overplayed.
