Stop the knee and leave social media if they want to start real change.
Social media channels might start changing sign up rules then.

Don't wait for me!
Exactly.
I thought all this “human rights” nonsense was supposed to stop when we left the EU?

Everyone in the world boycotts social media until they change the rules - so easy, never happen.

I remember when it started, Outraged racists (don't @ me, they were Talkradio listeners) saying they would never go to football again because of it.
Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to have happened.
With regards to Booing, If players taking the knee bothers you, read your program for 10 seconds FFS.

Taking the knee is done now.
After 15 months of Covid and with spectators returning to stadiums those moments immediately before kick-off should be returned to the fans to sing, cheer and go crazy.

Indeed.
And of course it must continue.
It's the gift (of flushing out the racists who can't stand it, or know how to contain themselves) that keeps on giving.
Live and let live, I say. I've got nothing against racists. There again, I wouldn't like one living next door to me. And it would be wrong to marry one. Not normal, is it?
Is it PotG?

Funny how there were no protests or riots in America when Lee Rigby was hacked to death in the street by two coloured men !

Joking aside, I think this poll is clearly biased toward wanting kneeling to end. That being said, whatever side one comes down on ,questioning things is healthy. Booing, mocking and calling for an end to something that’s intention is to defined equal rights, is very unhealthy.

Dunno about that. I'd say its highly individual.

If people want to do it then I don't see a problem - I don't mind players crossing themselves or praying after they have scored a goal either; they can do what they want. I wouldn't applaud or boo those actions either. Though, in practice, as it's just before kick-off and as I would be cheering/applauding at point anyway, I suspect it will look like I am cheering it.
Longer-term I wonder what it's future will be? Will everyone be still doing it in five years before every match in England? I would imagine that it would be quite difficult for a single player to decide not to do it at the moment and so maybe to stop doing it will require central co-ordination, or at least certainly agreement between both teams on the pitch. Maybe it will go on for decades until everyone has forgotten the point.
