Taking the knee

Quoted from Stadium

Interesting analysis,did you invent it?
Still waiting for explanation around why it bothers people so much & why they seem to be unable to ignore it ?

You seem unable to ignore people who are against it.

Surprised there’s nothing in there to pay for all the vandalism and damage their supporters have caused.🤔

It's an internet forum for discussion.
Seems a fair question,don't you agree?

I thought those who are against  it have suggested it seems a pointless gesture that really hasn't achieved anything other than pointless arguments.

Fair comment,thanks.
Will be interesting if anyone can explain why they can't just ignore it.
Seems strange to start another thread around it(have every right btw) when there were two existing ones running.

And so we've managed 5 pages straight out of the Daily Mail/Daily Express playbook....

When a discussion about race comes up deflect the conversation away from racism and racial discrimination and bring up BLM and Marxism.

And if you think I'm just a woke, lefty whatever - this week the government has been accused by a Judicial review of misleading us about how NHS contracts were awarded. Now go look at the headlines on the Mail and Express.

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.

It doesn’t infuriate me I just feel as powerful image/message it was it is now time for proper action and not a eight second gesture at the start of a sports event.

Nothing seems to have changed the social media companies do not take it seriously, Willian has recently been abused and Twitters response was it will not stop people posting from anonymous accounts, so the problem will carry on, it’s giving racists a platform to abuse and get away with it. It’s the abused reporting it to the police the social media companies are doing nothing.

A Swansea player was recently abused on Facebook, the punishment for the racist who abused him, a limited time ban from using their accounts, these companies are some of the biggest in the world and are just not interested in stopping racial abuse.

Punishments need to be stronger, they seem to be no worse than a slap on the wrist and don’t do it again, it’s needs be stronger and tougher.

If people were as infuriated at racists and racism as they are about taking the knee and BLM there would be no need to take the knee or be BLM protests.

Hopefully nonsense will have stopped by the time crowds are allowed back in. Won't be a problem for town as I am not sure many, if any teams take the knee in the national league

It’s always about opinions and so forth but it is somewhat baffling that people are so vocally opposed to something which is being used as a catalyst for change.

There’s been a lot of effort put in by some folk to denounce this whole thing. Seems odd really.

The fact we saw people boo it was just bizarre...
