FWIW, I have no issue with that opinion, though I disagree.
Its the stirring of the pot by tossers like hunt that irritate me. That and people then being actively angry about something that has absolutely zero impact on them. | |

...."downvoters" I wouldn't expect you to get involved.
Nor would I expect you to "pile on".
Disappointed in some of the others though.
Peace out. x | |

All you do is snipe and sneer these days. It's not very becoming. I guess now Lambert has gone your TWTD raison d'etre has rather diminished. | |

you missed - or have not bothered to read the thread points. To repeat - the initial impact of taking the knee is being lost - and the conversations about this topic is only seems to contribute to angry conversations about what the gesture now means.
by the way, you sound angry. |
Hmmm, so far not one person during this discussion has yet said these protests have made them angry.
Even a noted poster, that doesn’t agree with the protests, thinks there aren’t many angry people.
Maybe you should park that concern for now, and simply support people that have been affected by racism, protesting against racism, in a way that is non-violent. |  | | |

It was originally, I think the point is that it has now just become a bit routine, it’s meaning has been diluted. |
I know what you're saying, don't agree but I think the 'routine' point is fair.
However, it really doesn't matter what you or I think, two white guys on an internet message board. The players want to do it and still think it's important - they should be able to do so without any opprobrium and we should all applaud their commitment.
People like us wondering if it's lost a bit of impact are probably a bit ignorant.
People booing those doing it are racists or, at the absolute best, complete simpletons. |  | | |

No beer or complicated food involved, just 3 standard individual dumps.
I barely slept last night due to the confusion. | |

Did you come out and campaign with us at the last election? A lot are quick to complain but we were bare bones and couldn't get people out to vote due to a lack of volunteers. Politics is done on the doorstep and in the markets, with people, face to face, not on the Internet. The Conservatives have learned this, Labour supporters would rather the Tories win than go out and campaign for what they believe in. We'll never win Ipswich back like we did until you come out. |  |

I realise I may upset a few here but I would like an end to taking the knee. I know, I know. I think it should be replaced by something else, continually, frequently. Doing the same thing all the time doesn't have enough impact in my opinion. It doesn't enrage me, I just feel it isn't enough any more.
Also, having an automated BLM message on sky annoys me. it's just something that is programmed in like a sponsorship message. It has no soul. |
Imagine if me or Paz or (insert names here) had posted that. The down arrows would be off the scale. You have to laugh. The post is spot on by the way. |  | | |

You're avoiding your own point by silly attempts at deflecting.
Suggesting someone is angry because you aren't articulating yourself is a bit childish isn't it?
I'd read the thread up 'til I replied to you, but you didn't seem to be making any point, hence my post.
It's not difficult. |  |

You wouldn't have worded it anything like that though, that's the point.
Gav isn't suggesting the message be dropped because it might upset some racist trash.
He's saying the game needs to be constantly upped.
It's quite the opposite isn't it. | |
