[Football] Millwall fans covering themselves in glory again

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You’re able to demonstrate vast intellectual rigour when it suits you. Feign ignorance when it doesn’t.

What I just said, but much more succinct

I would not boo an anti-racism campaign.

I will, however, boo anyone who is publicly supporting an organisation who have caused countless acts of violence across the world, expressed anti-semitic views, defaced the statues of war time heroes and seek to defund the police and abolish capitalism.

So presumably, given that players this season in the EPL are wearing ‘No room for racism’ on their sleeve and EFL have ‘Not today or any day’ you won’t be booing at the Amex?

 

[DJ NOBO]

Does it really need a poll?
Only idiots would boo.
Racism is unacceptable.
Although I would say, generally speaking, privileged footballers moralising on social issues is shaky ground.

Interesting post. I have also enjoyed a life of white privilage and am very aware of other white men who think I'm some sort of traitor, lefty cretin or member of a Trained Communist sect for sharing your view. They have already 'won' so why do they get so vexed about taking the knee? And why get so antsy when I deduce racism? Strange.

don't forget its a masterplan devised by the rich and powerful so ordinary folk vote to keep them in power

Farage is not a man of the people, he is a 5th columnist

Booing people for kneeling in protest against racism for a few moments is fecking ridiculous. It doesn't affect you. Racism affects millions. If you're so hurt by seeing it, you give 'snowflake' new meaning, or you are a racist 'fighting back'. I'm sensing the latter.

They’re not kneeling for ‘No Room For Racism’ are they. Let’s not forget how and when the kneeling started with BLM on the back of the shirts.

I fully support the ‘No Room For Racism’ campaign from the PL, but I will not support BLM.

 

[worthingseagull123]

The best response to show genuine solidarity would be if we all took the knee in the stands too.

I wont be taking the knee.

Yes of course I would not boo it, but I do not back the BLM movement. There are better ways to address racism than defunding the police and introducing the far left of the political spectrum into our lives.

Nothing wrong in booing Marxists ideology , let's end the pantomime

Tell you what, I'll consider it time to end the panto when you can use an apostrophe properly.

Please share your vision of what future society should look like.

The man’s a c*nt. A man running out of options. Trumps going, brexit will happen ( how well is another matter). He will be a yesterday man so is trying to find a new ‘mission’. You can guarantee it will just be more racist shit as it’s his only option.

Before the BLM movement was hijacked they were standing for what BLM originally stood for, which was a stand against racism.

Now the movement has been politicised to a greater extent players are still taking a knee for those original reasons.

If that is so then the meme needs to rename itself as I doubt if I am the only gammon confused .

Confused? Perhaps if you devoted say, 50% of the time you usually spend posting videos on social media of people of colour behaving badly to getting your head around it, it might become clear.

There’s only one snowflake on this thread and that you. If Farage is offended then it can’t be all bad can it? In fact why don’t you a nige meet the players and tell the just how dtupid they are and what sheep they’ve become ....

No, but it’s potentially time to stop it now due to it losing its impact.

 

[carlzeiss]

Are you confused? If you've listened to interviews with the likes of Ian Wright and others, on the radio, or see players taking the knee, it is surely a massive stretch to think they are all doing the bidding of a niche weird American political group. You seem to have enough skill to seek out and find all sorts of information on the web. Fill your boots.

And it isn't the meme that needs to rename itself. It has been around for many years, far more than the political organization. In much the same way, socialism doesn't need to rename itself just because of the later emergence of national socialism.

You may think of yourself as gammon, but you're better than that.

Ian Wright , others and professional football players may understand the difference but it escapes me . When exactly did the meme start ? Genuinely interested to learn

You'd rather have your boys in charge wouldn't you Das Reich? How are they these days?

This is excellent the human race will soon all be on its knees in subjugation.
Muwahaaa haha hahaha

 

[pigbite]

No you misunderstand me. I don’t think they oppose BLM or what it stands for, I think they’re booing because they’ve had enough of all this ‘taking the knee’ business before every game. As for your other comment, in that case they’ll be taking the knee forever more because, sadly, there will always be racism no matter how loudly you protest. Unfortunately you can’t force a view or an opinion onto others of a certain mindset and in some cases it will only have the opposite affect and make them even more defiant.

I would hazard an uneducated guess that there is a correlation between the people who boo taking the knee and those who get all het up about black people being shown celebrating Christmas on a TV advert. They don't actually know that much about the real issues, they just know it's "PC gone mad" and it's just the latest thing their echo chamber has told them to be angry about. I just don't get why they can't just be happy to back watching their team. I am also pessimistic that we may hear the same nonsense on Monday evening.

No one truly wants to genuinely defund the Police.

They want part of the funding to be used to re-educate them that they were formed to be " Guardians of the People " instead of being " Oppressors of the People "

That re-education will be costly because there is an indoctrination within all Police Forces all over the World that they are Rulers of the People instead of Keepers of the people and that needs to be addressed.
