The taking of the knee began as a one man protest during the playing of the US national anthem- a protest highlighting the disproportionate deaths of African American men at the hands of the police- a very necessary and worthy cause that needed highlighting.
It was a protest by American citizens about a domestic issue within The United States America and its most unfortunate that it didn’t remain just that because having gone viral its meaning has been hijacked by others and left (outside of the USA), nothing but confusion
The taking of the knee in our home domestic professional sports and in Europe will continue to cause division and eventually bring about conflict because this symbol highlighting US police racism has [here] lost its true meaning. It’s not booed because people approve of US police callously killing black men- its booed because its meaning has been lost; and used in tandem with the black power fist also clearly confused.
The head honchos at the FA, The Premier league and The Football league, along with Garth Southgate the yes-man are right out of touch with reality as their reality is lost between the pages of the Guardian newspaper.
