How fcking dare sky or anyone even remotely claim our club is racist. I'm fcking fuming.
Our club has done more than most to stamp out racism from the game. Our stadium is named after a black lad, most if not all of our accademy coaches are black, our community team are second to none in the game.
How fcking dare you even question our club sky | |

Do you honestly believe it was her that flagged this up? Behave, it's someone upstairs at Sky. That's why every two-minute highlights package they did after the lockdown began with "both teams took a knee".
Virtue-signalling is what Sky do. Bet there are no black faces around the boardroom at Sky, though. | | | |

I missed the bit where she called us racist. Has anyone got a link? | | | |

I didn't see the question but I saw Warburton defending why we didn't take the knee. I guess that's what it's about. | |

About not taking the knee, I think, and Jobi McAnuff said something. Their manager said it was our decision. | | | |

Thanks folks.
Any idea why we didn't? | |

They did a bit on not taking the knee. The Sky reporter on the ground claimed it was QPR's decision. Mark Robbins tried to throw QPR under the bus claiming "we wanted to", Warburton told the reporter "we fight discrimination at every level and to suggest anything else is ludicrous".
Some people on here seem to be blaming the presenter, which I don't understand | | | |

Nor did the England cricket team and Archer said they do loads behind the scenes as indeed do we. Shouldn’t be done for show as it’s far too important for that. | | | |

The response by Warburton was that there has been no direction from the EFL. Do we take the knee for 4 games longer? 8 games longer? How long?
Which was a good point I thought. | |

It is a puzzling decision whoever made it. I'm sure the club will make a statement and clear it up.
I've no proof, but perhaps some of the players have gone down the Matt Le Tiss route of mistaking it for Marxism. | | | |

They made a big deal about us not taking the knee Brian at today's game and at last week's game against Forest. The implication was that we were somehow implying that we were not aligned with BLM. The pundit, Jobi McAnuff said how disappointed he was as if it showed we were a racist club.
It was the usual sloppy journalism with no balance about how we are unusual in the number of senior black coaches, DOF, BAME owners as well as players in our club. I would imagine Les will be steaming, given the number of interviews he has done about the lack of black people in football management.
I think the club should complain to Sky. The way this was presented was appalling. | | | |

Mark Robins said they wanted to, but QPR didn't so they didn't. | | | |

Qpr have taken positive action rather than hollow, PR-driven gestures. We have more black coaches than the rest of the EFL put together. We have a black DOF, black academy director, we’ve given opportunities to black teenagers booted out of other academies. We have a diverse fan base. We have a best in class community department in a diverse part of London. We were front and centre of doing useful stuff for Grenfell while white powerful people were wiping their fcking lap tops.
Sorry if we don’t think your easily packaged and televised gesture should go on indefinitely, but when you’ve done as much as we have then you can come for us.
Fcking disgusting.

Sometimes it's okay to say "I don't know". And I don't know.
If another team decided not to, I would be curious as to whay. So I'm curious as to why we haven't. But with our excellent track record I presume that there is a reason for it and will wait to hear more and to learn more. | |

Regardless of what we know about our club, this doesn't look great. Wish we'd got out ahead of this and explained the reasons why. | | | |

We should make an official public club announcement and request an apology from Sky. | |
