Is that your attempt at playing the race card lol?
 
I would much rather the FA tried to do something meaningful to tackle racism in football, I can't help but feel all the while players are taking a knee the FA will feel that is all they have to do to combat racism, and it's just become the norm now so doesn't really have the same effect, lets see a proper plan put in place and actioned that actually starts to combat these things, maybe we could start with ID for social media accounts so people cant send racist abusive tweets after matches to players? Things like that would really make a difference compared to taking a knee.

They started it after the American football player did it . The originator of a protest for equality not a Marxism sect .

This is just going around and around . If people want to boo against footballers who’ve made it clear that it’s nothing to do with the organization BLM then boo , it’s uncomfortable viewing as it portrays a stance against anti racism , but it’s your choice . It’s okay to argue against BLM , the political group as they are clearly extremists but when someone releases a statement pointing out it’s meaning & the individual still wishes to still see it as something it isn’t , then no one can change their minds

No they didn't start doing it after the American started doing it against police brutality in America, it became a thing in the UK after Floyd and was a symbol of BLM thereafter.

The left hates poor white people. Fine. That’s okay. We deal with that on a daily basis. But what left-wingers hate even MORE is a person of colour that holds conservative views. They fooking HATE that. That’s why Priti Patel gets more hate than anyone else in the Conservative party. Because it completely destroys their narrative.
