Absolutely false lol.

Kick it out was a pure anti racism message. No one ever booed it.


It's not though.

The core of BLM is that white supremacy is perpetuated by ALL white people and espouses a view of original sin where all white people are guilty of something simply due to the colour of their skin. It's got nothing to do with equality, by definition.

It's a grift.

The fact that you can't even say you don't support BLM without an immediate "you're racist if you don't agree" proves that it's a toxic and counter productive movement.
Dude. Use simple words ... I literally didn't read what you wrote when you perpetuate this and espouse that....
Let's just agree that if one kid asks his parents why Kane etc are kneeling before a game and the parent is truthful about why and that kid says that's shit and real unfair then job done.

Don't over complicate things.
 
What a ridiculous post. We have been passing the ball brilliantly and have hit the crossbar twice.
You may disagree but no need to be rude. We have passed the ball but with very little intent or dynamism. We should be ripping through teams with the players we have...but we aren't. Like watching a Jose team.
Yeah we hit crossbar twice...so? We should be 2 or 3 up by now but our manager has nullified us.
 
If you want to make political statements that are highly divisive you can't forbid dissenting opinions lol

You're only saying this because you happen to agree with the statement being made.

What if the players were making some gesture in support of Israel, Bolsonaro or the CCP? Should dissenters be quiet too?

When you put political messaging onto the pitch like this, you can't just ban dissent and force everyone to agree with you. That's why you should keep it out of football. Football fans are united in their support of a team, not the policies the current crop of players happen to espouse.
The England manager and the players have explicitly come out and said it is something they are doing to support the kick racism out of football campaign and has nothing to do with the BLM campaign.

Southgate even came on before the match to repeat this that is has nothing to do with BLM.

So they're taking the knee in an effort to show solidarity with everyone who believes that there is no room for racism in football.

If you're happy to boo that on the international stage then that's up to you.
 
Sancho is so overrated

Grealish, Saka, Mount, Lingard etc are way better

"Son they're kneeling because they think all white people are inherently racist and have to repent for their racism and privilege etc" - "ok dad"

If you don't understand the movement why are you making statements like "if you're against it, you're racist"?

Anyway....

Ultimately it's an anti racist message at its most pure. It's been subverted by minorities and politicised to fuck by those with agendas

TV channels still running the Black Lives Matter banners with it, strange innit.

It's a symbol of the BLM movement. You can't do it for months with that intention and then just change it because you realized it was a bad move.

They're kneeling son because a black man was murdered by a white policeman and it happens too often.

I fully understand it.

Yes you can - England have.

You read into it what you want to but when the England manager comes out and explains the reasoning that they're doing it then it's pretty clear cut.
