WoodleyRoyalDavezk People don't want politics in football. It's nothing to do with being racist.
If you read around (which I suggest you do), aside from BBC quoting the usual suspects, a lot of the public feel the same. Even Gary Rowett who I see the BBC didn't quote for some reason ( ) says it is becoming an empty gesture. Not everyone who disagrees with BLM as an organisation is racist but sadly you can't understand this point so I won't waste any more of my time.
I would suggest as the fans are back in the stadium it is as far from being an ‘empty gesture’ as you can get. Kids attend the match and will ask ‘daddy why are they all on one knee?’
‘Well son it because black people have been treated like shit since the beginning of time and this is a way of highlighting to the world that it needs to stop’
Seems like a perfect opportunity to educate the next generation that it’s not ok.
And anyway who are we as fans to boo players for doing something that they believe in. Ffs it’s a few seconds and doesn’t hurt anyone. It needs to continue until change happens. Nothing has changed.
Agree Wooders.
Lady Hendo commented on it yesterday and put it pretty well “oh I’m sorry, has racism finished now then?” I then had to explain some history about Millwall to her.
