taking the knree…. 10:27 - Oct 24 with 2371 viewswitchdoctor

not wanting to go into the rights and wrongs of doing this but it was noticeable that one player didn’t do so just before K O yesterday….all about choice I suppose..👍

I would say that if you are against players making a peaceful anti-racist protest then you probably need to ask yourself a few searching questions. Take the England fans who booed taking the knee in the lead up to and at the start of Euro 2020, if you're booing players taking a stand against racism then what are you expressing? It's hard to draw any conclusion that doesn't come back to those booing it being racist.


who said that booing is fine or acceptable?..or that I’m against players taking the knee?….seeing stuff that isn’t there…

this is what i typed….

there’s nothing wrong at all about taking the knee..if that’s what folk want to do then go ahead

what’s your problem with that?

Although it was clumsily put, it was quite clear that he meant he didn't want this thread to become another debate on whether it should take place. He was not implying there is anything wrong with it in the literal sense.


Sadly, that can’t be taken as read when people bring this up. And that was without the “rights and wrongs” part.

It’s not as if this thread is happening in a vacuum.

I’m sure witchdoctor can make it clearer.

Sorry, but where have I said that I think you're against taking the knee? You made a point about people not agreeing with it not necessarily being racist and I was just offering an example of where vocally not supporting it probably does tip over into racism. Nowhere have I suggested that applies to you.

Of course there’s nothing wrong with it.

But you talked about the “rights and wrongs” in your opening post.

You don’t really get racism or anti-racism, do you?

You haven't and I haven't said that you have either.
