It was a powerful image when it was first done but now it’s time to move on from it, Zaha is correct. It’s had it’s day
What annoys me is individuals being highlighted when they do not take the knee, it shouldn’t be an issue, I think a few England rugby players didn’t take the knee a few weeks ago and the players where highlighted for not doing so, the FA, Premier League, EFL should come together and put a stop to it. It’s been going on since June, enough is enough.

Only four Scotland rugby players took the knee when they played us at Twickenham.

As posted 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.
Mahlon Romeo asked: “When fans are booing a peaceful gesture to highlight racism, it naturally makes you ask yourself ‘why am I putting myself through this?’” Because what happened this weekend showed that Les Ferdinand was wrong: taking the knee is not just an empty gesture. It never was.
What the players have been doing has meaning and real power."

Enough is enough? It's had it's day? Time to move on? I don't understand why it seems to infuriate people? Abuse on social media is now being widely reported and calls for such companies to do more to identify the perpetrators is happening. It lasts seven/eight seconds.

I agreed in principle with this at the start but it is time to move on as it has lost the impact of the action. I get annoyed with match of the day constantly showing it and saying the same thing everytime. Time now is to sort social media out as they just ignore the issue.
The clap for the NHS only lasted 8 weeks before been stopped, not been racist but I know which one I would sooner still support.
Why does it annoy you? I am not a fan of the Royals but wouldn't ever dream of booing the national anthem. Not suggesting you would boo taking the knee by the way. Listening to it for however long it lasts is not even an irritant for me. If I am at home, it just gives me time to put the kettle on.

It’s utter Shite. If the fans were in the grounds it would have ended a lot quicker . In my opinion , If anything it’s having the opposite effect to what it was started for .
And no , I’m not a racist.
Classic I'm not racist but....

I eat Chinese food and reckon that Sterling lad is a decent player. I even once bought a Marvin Gaye record.

But if you do support it you’re a Marxist... I’m so confused I think I’ll just sit on the fence and ignore it!
