Yes, be interesting to see grounds at full capacity, my hunch is, they would stop the kneeling after one week. | |

Don't agree with booing, but surely the point has been made now. |  |

The point has been made and it should have stopped some time ago.
Continuing it will only give racists such as those at Millwall a voice. |  |

It's so sad and disrespectful to hear the booing. |  |

Imagine having racism entrenched in your DNA so much, that all you've been thinking of doing for 9 months is booing a demonstration of equality. |  |

I hope such behaviour does not happen at a Welsh ground. | |

Agree, the point has been made, most fans are pretty cheesed off with it all now, and passing on their feelings in the only way they can. |  |

Cheesed off with what?
A 3 second demonstration that they had to watch on the TV? | |

Why in the first place was a divisive political statement allowed to enter sport ? it has to end at some point so who makes that decision., the players, the governing bodies or a collective of all interested groups. | |

Correct.
Football is a game not a demonstration. | |

and if the BLM was a movement purely based on highlighting inequalities in society then fair enough but it isn't, as seen through the summer months. Any sympathy with that group was dissipated when acts of violence against the law and property was witnessed by all. They also faced criticism for making a series of tweets from their verified Twitter account regarding Israel, including one that claims "mainstream British politics is gagged of the right to critique Zionism. | |

The fact it was booed suggests they point hasn’t been made.
And stopping a demonstration against racism because it annoys racists isn’t really a great argument. | | | |

Since March, no demonstration has been made during the game.
The game doesn't start until the whistle goes. | |

I don’t think they’re supporting an organisation or a movement, they’re getting behind a statement.
The daft thing is we’ve just started seeing players and teams making individual choices on the matter, the actions of today will set all that back. | | | |

You’d prefer to see someone making the Roman salute while clicking their heels.
That’s because you are the same as them. As can be seen from your initial post. And many, many other examples of deeply racist views you have expressed previously. | | | |

We would have a 2 min silence for someone who passed away, and 2 mins for millions killed in wars, but we wouldn't do it very game.It's lost it's purpose and meaning . | | | |

Just because some are fed up of seeing players taking the knee, doesn't make them a racist.
If you agree with it, then that's fine, it's a matter of opinion and everyone is allowed one.
How the Roman salute and heel clicking got into this thread I don't know. | |

Nope.
But I have absolutely no doubt that you hold racist views.
You have openly expressed them several times. | | | |

I may do, who knows.. I have always treated people the way they treat me, so in person when I meet someone regardless of colour, fat/thin I always treat everyone the same.. | |

I was going to say “I wonder how long it will take for people to pretend this is about racism”.
Not long it seems. |  |
