Not loathed by me, but will soon be the subject of legal action as a result of an injury compensation claim. I have eye rolled so often my eyeballs are locked into a looking up position. | |

If you listen to what the players who have spoken about stopping it have said, you will realise it is far from not believing in BLM. They have clearly stated that despite taking the knee, nothing is changing. They want something that has an effect. Please could all these decent folk who oppose the gesture tell me what they should be doing to stop the open racism that is still happening in this country. I have a dream. It is a dream that MLK had over 50 years ago. It is so sad it is still just a dream. | |

Absolute nonsense. Ffs. When did bring against racism become virtue signaling? Jesus wept, you can really tell that there are some sheltered yokels on here at times. | |

What's the difference between a "gesture of solidarity" and "virtue signalling"? Aren't they just positive/negative spins on the exact same thing? | |

I'm not sure what they expected the knee to do,? It raised the issues of racism and many people have now found their voice to speak out about racism. However players are still being racially abused on twitter etc. But this is generally by the mindless minority. Did they really think taking the knee would stop Internet trolls with fake accounts harassing players? What worries me more is the people that have been slating Martial and Rashford must actually be Manchester United fans as they seem to have problems with them after poor results and performances. I cant see how anybody can actually slate players because of the colour of their skin. My issue is with any players poor ability to play football whatever race they are.

You are trying to argue over nothing. You made the post with nothing to back it up. So you don't have a clue and you're not really interested. Why comment then? [Post edited 28 Feb 2021 16:54]

If only he'd said he was worried for people's mental health, you could have avoided all this talk of empty gestures. | |

Paz was also being cowardly, “usual suspects”. If you are going to characterise a group of people in a negative way, have the b@lls to address them directly. Other people manage it. It is hypocritical, meltdown is a term associated with an emotional breakdown, Paz is supposed to be concerned about mental health, but doesn’t seem to mind using the thar term to describe people when it suits him. It was abusive, since many people on that thread, expressed their own personal experiences of either themselves or friends family having suffered racist abuse. Others had mentioned their experiences on other threads. Many people with that sort of experience, expressed there opinion on Paz’s position, that people using terms could set context, and minorities that have had years of experience in suffering from racism, could not define what is and isn’t racist. To characterise a bunch of people that have suffered directly or indirectly from racism, as having a meltdown, when they disagreed with Paz on an issue of racism, is abuse. It is a typical abusive reaction from someone expressing their privilege. | | | |

It’s not up to you to decide, if falsely labelling people that have been the victims of racists, find your characterisation of their posting on racism topics as having a “meltdown”, is a abusive. Even your follow up post demonstrates your privilege. [Post edited 28 Feb 2021 18:54]
