It will work out well long term.

Racism is a learned behaviour. It's small minds thinking, wrongly, that you're better than someone cos of who you were born to and where you were born.

It's always been there. It's just been emboldened recently by the actual divisive politicians, etc who have made it seem that it's ok to be racist and hate others.

The more it's called out, the quicker people will realise it's not acceptable.

Yes it probably will when we stop obsessing over it.

No. I'm not. And that's the stupidist thing i've ever read.

Try again. I don't have binary thinking, and just because you appear to, that doesn't mean my thoughts polairise yours and you know my thoughts. Clearly not as you don't appear to be able to read them.

THE ENGLAND TEAM ARE BEING USED AS PAWNS IN AN EVER INCREASING CLIMATE OF RACIALISED POLITICS.

Is that clear enough for you?

The PFA has regularly consulted registered players and the support for taking the knee is overwhelming every time. Players don't have to do it, but the great majority want to.

They have explained over and over that it is players showing solidarity with each other about the abuse that some of them receive. It's by the players for the players.

This whole argument about bending knees, BLM, political / non political, seem like they could be resolved by simply creating a new gesture pre game not linked to any existing movements or symbolism.

My suggestion would be to bring out John Terry before every England game & allow 5 ballot selected fans to kick the shit out of him for 60 seconds.

Literally kicking racism out.

Even if he wasn’t a racist I’d like to kick him!

This is all getting a bit mental.

Some comedian I have never heard of has been cancelled for Tweeting that the white players scored their penalties and the black players missed.

Woke culture dominates everything in the mainstream, literal communist memes everywhere, people openly supporting far leftist movements and ideas, the western world is utterly divided and there are nazis everwhere apparently (but no commies obviously) , yet this is all make believe and i'm imagining it.

Sure.

It doesn't you need to get out more, you've curated your own echo chamber . Look at the last few elections.

Regardless even if true the below is still valid.

"No they are not, as they have said they are making a stand for something that effects them and they believe in."

But some communist on twitter that I had to actively search said it was Marxist. Have a word.

Do Nazis have an open platform on Twitter or get hired to go on mainstream tv other than to be shamed mate? Pretty sure they don't. Why is that?

And if the left weren't so far left, perhaps, ooh i dunno, we might not have a Tory government to begin with. It aint rocket science.

Erm you do realise most of the online hate posts are trolls from other countries right? The only cues they are looking for are from public figures condemning racism and building something they can knock down? We've got bots generating racist memes and then the media industrial complex gives it 24 coverage.

Fully expect Sancho Rashford and Sako to release a woke rap song with the profits going to BLM.

Not just that topic, other like Brexit, vaccines, masks, politics in general. Everything is polarised.

Yes, I get that too.

But back to racism, seeing as it the topic. For a division to exist there has to be two opposing sides, those that support something, those that oppose, correct?

What side of this divide is the England football team on? What side of the divide are those booing them on?
