Not all.
The options are all open to you as I stated.


Unbelievable!


Yes Sir but please Sir, I don't like YOUR options Sir. Why can't I have some options of my own please Sir?

To clarify.
It's the players decision to carry on with it if they wish & not the fans.
No one is suggesting "shutting people" down.
The options are keep quiet,ignore or express an opinion.
Be prepared to be called out on it if you do.

Lighten up mate. I knew what you meant. Not everything has to be doom and gloom on the Fishy.

Millwall and Colchester United will not face disciplinary action after some of their supporters booed while players took the knee earlier this month.

The incidents came in the first home games for the clubs with fans present.

The Football Association says it has completed a full investigation.

"Anyone who chooses to take the knee will continue to receive our support as they highlight the inequality and injustice experienced by the Black community," an FA statement read.

Players have been taking a knee at the start of matches since football returned after the first Covid-19 lockdown.

While matches were suspended, the Black Lives Matter movement gathered momentum in the wake of the death of George Floyd in the United States.

Both Millwall and Colchester strongly condemned the actions of the minority of fans who booed.

The incidents drew wide condemnation, although some people against taking the knee felt it had become a political symbol.

"To be clear, we do not see taking the knee as a political symbol, and would contend that there can now be no doubt as to what the gesture means in a footballing context," the FA added.

"Therefore, going forward, The FA will continue to monitor and investigate should similar crowd-related incidents occur.

"The FA continues to support all players and clubs that wish to take a stand against any form of discrimination, and will always condemn the behaviours of anyone that chooses to actively oppose these values."

I can see where this website is heading.
Go with the flow with the loud multipal posters opinions like a good little boy or be non platformed as was tried on another thread.
Load of balderdash.
