QPR decide not to take the knee. 20:43 - Sep 18 with 4103 viewsFlashberryjack

QPR decided not to take the knee at tonight's game, although Coventry were happy to to take the knee.

Correct decision or not ?

They will be my second team.Stadium named after an unfortunate young man and now this.

Seem to have guts and decency.

Football needs to wind up this virtue signalling.

No right or wrong, personal choice. I personally wouldn't take the knee, however if I had team mates who recieved racist abuse, maybe I would.

Tref.
This is where I am.
White footballers are clearly being pressured to take a knee whether they like it or not. Its not overt but its clearly the case.

As regards racial abuse,I believe the captain of a team on hearing a crowd shout racist filth then the ref takes the teams off immediately. They return and if it's repeated,game is forfeited and the club docked 12 points.

No black player should have ever been insulted like they are in the likes of eastern european countries especially Serbia,Croatia,Bulgaria,Romania and Russia. No team should lose because they decide to walk off the pitch after racist chanting.

THAT should have happened long ago.Nothing was done until George Floyd became a cause celebre

If its the choice of the players, fair enough. Although i disagree.

If its the choice of the manager or the club, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Joint decision, apparently.

And the correct one in my humble opinion.

It depends what taking the knee actually means?

a) Protest against police violence. (This is a USA issue primarily and any one off protest would have been applicable but not evey week.)

b) A movement protesting general cultural discrimination. Football already has its own issues and can hold it s own events and does not need to attach to a movement based in the deprived US inner cities where widespread firearm possession and drug abuse is exceptional.

A matter of choice in my opinion. I’d have more respect for a club if they gave a free option without repercussions to each player rather than a ‘party line’. I also think the whole movement has been high hacked by certain types and the message has been lost in the controversy. Someone said on the Sunday supp podcast I think it was Clinton Morrison. It doesn’t matter how many times you ‘take the knee’ unless you start pressing properly for real change, it’s a pointless exercise (I’m paraphrasing)

Exactly this you ask 10 people what “taking the knee” is for and you would have 10 different answers. Move on

Utterly embarrassing.

They now have to justify why they didn’t. The media can’t believe a team dare not “take the knee” when live on television. They are going to contact the teams representatives and ask their managers to explain their decisions. Utterly pathetic.

How about let people play football and keep politics out of sport? Because that’s what it is, politics.

It's been an utter embarrassment for a while now.

Why should QPR give reasons to the media why they chose not to take the knee, the media have been bleating that it's optional, and that nobody is bullying players into doing it, we'll see now if anyone is actually bullying.

Taking the knee has brought politics into football and should stop. I would have no objection to a few "Kick it out" signs in prominent positions, but BLM has too much baggage. This is especially so when the virtue signalling is coming from well-invested millionaire footballers, who clearly have a stake in capitalism.
