I think that's exactly it..... No one is chomping at the bit to keep the game moving......

Throw ins, Free Kicks, Goal kicks...... All taken at a snails pace as if they're not bothered.
I know no one wants to go hell formlewther and get injured but you gotta wonder why have the friendlies then? Also, buy ward prowse now....gotta be a step up from winks and sissoko
 
What's with the boos? If you agree with taking the Knee then applaud, if you disagree with taking the knee just remain quiet.

Booing just makes you look like a plank.
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.
 
Fairs but it's been politicised and misconstrued so some people have now missed the point of why it's being done ..fucks sake
It's not been misconstrued though, the players literally said it was for BLM. It's not against racism in general, it's a very specific political ideology.

The players never talk about racism against Asians or Jews at grounds or the fact that certain minority groups are insanely underrepresented in the sport at all levels. Why is that?

But they're not making features for those you say. It's pure and simple an anti racism message brought about by racist cops murdering black people... You can't do 'what ifs' because the examples.you pick are extreme and not supported by right minded people.
If you boo the knee, you're racist. Simples.

It's agains all forms of discrimination no? It's for equality and to stop all forms of racism.
 
Considering we have some of the most exciting footballers in world football - mount, foden, freakish, Sancho, Kane, etc Southgate has created a formation and a style that fucking nullifies them. Shite manager. Shite as fuck

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.
