From elsewhere:
There’s no rule against “disrespecting the knee”. If a bunch of aging football fans wants to boo and fulminate against a player-led anti-racist initiative, and convince themselves that by doing so they are keeping their country safe from Marxism, then they should be free to do so. And everyone else should be free to make up their own minds about what is really going on.
But the players are the ones who are in control, and these protests can continue as long as they wish them to.
You can quote what you like, but it is proving divisive. What is the point? It certainly is not helping, is it? |

Correct in your opinion. Fortunately it's not your decision to decide what the players would like to do. |

Yes defintely. I would boo it as its a gesture started in the states in support of a political, racist, marxist movement which i am happy to stand against.
End racism, kick it out, standing linking arms, banners, badges happy with all of them as i agree with the message not the current methods of highlighting it. So yes i will be booing
Total BS. What part of taking the knee says that you’re a racist, Marxist? You’ve swallowed a lie. |

Love it when people call people Marxists without really knowing what a Marxist is...
Quite funny how this thread has made it to 6 pages when the initial question was answered within a few responses...
Probably highlights how awful our club is when people are cryarsing over some folk doing something to support a cause they believe in...

The kick it out campaign has been going for a long time, and everybioody gets behind it. This is quite different - whether the cause has been hijacked or not, BLM has morphed into a political party whose aims are not those of the mainstream - overthrow of capitalism and defund the police for example. BLM will always be divisive as is shown by chairman against fans, players against fans and fans against fans...and it is not doing any good at all for racial equality.
The Kick It Out campaign has been running for a long time but week in week out there were still examples of racist behaviour regularly exhibited at our football grounds which suggests not everybody gets behind it. |

Kind of undermines your argument t doesn't the very fact Racism still exist is a testament to how ineffective it i has been.It is bigots such as yourself that conflated any legitimate protest with left wing Marxist classic far right tactic.You have been duped. |

Taking the knee isn't going to solve it either, is it? |

The dictionary definition of a bigot is "a prejudiced person who is intolerant of the views of others". Do you think that applies to you? |

Ah, I see. You are a bigot with a halo, for jumping on to every passing bandwagon which is dividing every football club in the land (see any fans forum you like) but I am a bad bigot for pointing out the division it is causing and how ineffectual it will be?  |
