Thanks, corrected for you.
Not sure that is what came across when you stated 'What message is a player (or manager) wishing to give by not taking the knee if not to signal that he disagrees with BLM?'. Based on that, you are suggesting that Warburton doesn't agree with BLM or their aims. He might well not agree but that isn't what he has said and you can't know what he is thinking. It would appear you're just trying to shame people in to toeing the line!
How can I shame Warburton or his team? I am confident they don't read NSC.
How can I shame anyone on NSC into supporting the trope BLM? Either they think black lives matter or they don't. Those who don't, and who went all 'whabout all lives' mattering, have already shown they are beyond shame.
And if anyone on NSC feels shamed by me into giving tacit support for BLM that they don't have....they are pathetic. I'm sure Das Reich wouldn't pretend support owing to perceived pressure from me!
I will make it clear. If Warburton (and indeed anyone else) consults with his players and holds a press conference to say 'we are not doing this anymore, but we have decided to do that' nobody would mind. Perhaps everything does have its day.
And perhaps it doesn't. I stopped buying poppies 30 years ago, till I was reminded of the meaning (in part by people on NSC, as it happens). I am not aware of any mainstream 'let's stop wearing poppies' organisation, I am pleased to say, but there are apparently mainstream people very much opposed to BLM. So I am uncomfortable with clumsy interventions by the likes of Warburton that, as has been stated by many, in its ambiguity gives succour to gammon and racists.
