Felt so good to see our players taking a knee in Rome last night while the unenlightened looked on confused and angry.
It’s a simple message that’s easy to follow and it goes something like this,
Don’t be a racist. End of message. |
I can't imagine any of these players taking the knee then going on to give someone racist abuse during the game.
Imagine if this had been done decades ago, if John Terry had taken the knee in support of an ant-racist message. Would he then have gone on to say what he was reputed to have said to Anton Ferdinand? I think it unlikely, and if he had the outcry would have been even stronger. |  |

I hope we win the whole thing and we can celebrate the knee gesture in all its glory, the awful
Priti Patel et al should be ashamed of the stance they took on this. And should NOT suddenly associate with the teams glory. Which they will. |  |

You don't need to say 'reputed' before 'to have said to Anton Ferdinand', Terry admitted uttering the words - but only as a refutation to Ferdinand's (alleged) using the same words in a 'that's what you think I am' provocation. It remains a sad, confusing and unresolved incident and with unpleasant afters in language used by Rio Ferdinand towards Ashley Cole.

She’s damned if she supports them, damned if she doesn’t.
Which is absolutely fine by me! Couldn’t happen to a nicer person. |  |

In a similar vein, Darren Grimes has been jumping on the bandwagon. Not sure how he’s been watching the games though considering that he told everyone he had cancelled his TV license for the Defund the BBC campaign a few months back... |
Yeah, but I bet his mother hasn’t cancelled hers. |  |

A fella on my aged footy team has a season ticket to spurs but says he won't be actually attending until they stop taking the knee. Imagine being so angry as to take that stand? Wierd. |  |

I can honestly say that everyone i know is apathetic about taking the knee. It has run its course. |  | | |

Because you seem ridiculously quick to start flapping or taking umbrage about the most minor things. | |

The England players don't think it has so tough titties to what your old, white mates think. [Post edited 4 Jul 2021 15:53]

Nobody cares about your group of friends, they're clearly not victims of racial abuse. |  |

It's been greatly appreciated by large numbers of my non-white and/or overseas colleagues who been contending with an ever more xenophobic and intolerant public for the last fews years, though. | |

Who cares what you, I or your friends think. It's up to the players, shirley?
I'm guessing that they aren't thinking in terms of "apathy" and "run it's course".
If you and your friends are bored because you are finding an anti-racism message boring, then tough titties because it's not about you (unless you and friends are those with "concerns").
If the players feel that they want to do something different in the future, that's up to them. | | | |

I don't.
Every time they take the knee the players doing it, those they are playing against and the people watching all have to think, if only for a second or two, about why they are doing it.
That won't stop. | |

he is. he was felling pity for someone didn't. the person who feels upset that the england footballers spent a few seconds on their knee, that he would miss all the nations enjoyment |  |

I did. And now I'm having a chuckle about a bloke who missed out because he values his own racism over his personal happiness. [Post edited 4 Jul 2021 17:52]

The PM, Tory Ministers, MPs and various other right wing types seemed to care enough in the media.
It is very funny that those that said they will refuse to watch, won’t be able to see their team in action. |  | | |
