That there is anyone on here who doesn’t think they are racist that wants to stop a peaceful protest against discrimination and would boo and insult their own team for standing up for what is common respect and decency disappoints me, unfortunately it doesn’t shock me, there are racists in abundance in our home town , plenty on here looking to try to explain their racism away with deflection and whataboutery but in their hearts they know what it’s about
Excellent comment. The truth of it will attract more crosses than likes. |

It’s a bit like trying to argue there’s no place for peaceful protest in sport because there’s no place for politics in sport...I mean anyone that thinks that should probably step away from the game...politics is and has always been involved in sport. Would those so vehemently opposed to take the knee have challenged and booed those who felt the need to clap that twonk at Luton? Do they challenge the notion of singing an anthem? If someone were wrongly convicted would they challenge a protest? How do they cope with the deputy leader of the council owning the club? How did they feel when two completely invisible and incompetent local MPs were handed townnshirts in nothing more than an awful attempt at gaining publicity? |

Well said. I love the history of the Royal family, I love my country but I'm a Republican and don't agree with jingoistic God Save The Queen so don't sing it, I would never boo though. |

It looks like Millwall players have given up taking the knee.

I do wonder, does Hanson need support to take the knee?

Might be as well taking someone else's knee and giving it to him? |

About time. Kneeling to the BLM is just wrong. Linking arms, wearing logos, kick it out and other initiatives have no negative connotations that all can get behind. Not supporting taking the need does not equate to racism. I will certainly boo taking the knee. If showing my displeasure at kneeling to a marxist, racist group like the BLM makes me racist in the eyes of those who agree with the BLM so be it. I dont seek or require their consent or approval. I am comfortable in the knowledge that i have never discriminated against anyone for their race, sex, or disability |

I am so sorry. I didn't realise you had a stutter.
Is there anything we can do pre-match for stutterers everywhere?
Surely VVV-Venlo in the Dutch league can get something sorted for this? |

I think the Millwall manager effectively said that after the game on Saturday. |
