Booing BLM

[Drog]

It'll be interesting to see how many teams kneel and how many don't. Especially so when the entire hullabaloo is over a small time, black American hoodlum with no connection to Europe or football at all.

Seems very few......... Which Euro 2020 teams are taking the knee? (thesun.co.uk) It's now gone from foolish to a national embarrassment! Why are we being run by a woke brigade who are so out of touch with the mood of the nation...... and the world?!

Yes. Booing and clapping in fairly equal measures I'd say

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

Maybe they were clapping the boos

 

[Drog]

They'll be scrapping soon if this carries on.

Southgate, are you watching?

Euro 2020: England football team are 'waging culture war on fans' by taking the knee

Great British Breakfast host Inaya Folarin Iman said the gesture in support of Black Lives Matter was 'divisive' and lead to 'superficial conversations'

Great quote from Starmer at the end of this piece, fully aligning behind the virtue signallers yet again.

Priti Patel: Taking the knee is 'gesture politics'

The Home Secretary said "we should learn from history, not rewrite it"

…… and they wonder why they rarely get into government .

I'm getting mighty pissed off about the furore over the damage to Rashford's poster and the supposed racism on social media toward the three penalty takers who missed. The main issue should be why we lost from a winning position and how to avoid repeating the mistakes v Croatia and Italy in the future.

Instead of mealy mouthed woke commentators in the press and media it's time that the nation realised that racism etc is ingrained in human instinct. Not a nice one of course but just another instinct that was instilled over human history for a purpose. The sooner it's accepted that a measure of racism is to greater and lesser degrees in us all the better and easier it can be dealt with. 95% of people who say they aren't racist to any degree are lying imo.

The media , along with the Labour Party and the race relations industry ( eg The Runnymede Trust ) are stoking up racial division . This country is one of the most welcoming and tolerant places in the world , but that’s not good enough for Kier Starmer ( who stood by and cooperated with anti- Semites whilst they took over his party ) whose pillorying of Priti Patel at PMQs today was absolutely disgraceful . Like many black and brown people who don’t follow the left’s hypocritical and warped ideology, she’s being viscously targeted by the Labour Party

Andrew Doyle on GB News puts forward some calm and measured analysis of the events of the last few days :

Some girl in the Australian team doesn’t look to convinced while the Swedish ladies takes the knee

That's Sam Kerr, Robin. Chelsea and Australia.
Interesting that Australia didn't kneel as they've got at least two indigenous players in the squad.

The stupidity continues.

Players will continue to take the knee

Players from all 20 Premier League clubs will continue to take the knee as a symbol of their "unity against all forms of racism".

The Championship sheep will follow

They are begging confrontation the stupid buggers. It'll end in tears.

I will give up rovers I didn’t watch any euro game due to it. I won’t watch or support the club again if it continues and as the @Drog knows I tried bring the FA and EFL to the table during our dark days. Not my club if it continues

That's the idea. Then the likes of the Tyrone Ming's can run their mouths supported by the left wing media freaks.

 

[davebirch]

Football is supposed to bring peoples together, not by highlighting a particular problem.
Where were they in different times? Why not the Palestinians? Why not the Ukrainians? The Uyhgars .
Where does it end?
They are all worthy causes, but, there are a lot of worthy causes around the world.

He was in the paper front page yesterday for mental health struggles during the euros. This guy loves the lime light it’s not the first time he’s been contentious with his comments eg Patel. Etc.

mental health problems so sells a story to a paper about it .... right

 

[davebirch]

I used to think, these guys are under immense pressure to perform, and then you think about the everyday pressures of ordinary folk.
You know, the usual ones, where's the rent coming from, food on the table, kids running wild, taking whatever drugs, and we get get a footballer, earning squillions telling the rest how it should be done.
I like that they are concerned, ok, but chuck your money in the pot to solve the problem, get out there and talk to the "problem", convince them to change their ways.
"Mental Health" has just become the "new", in a few months, years it will be forgotten, sadly.
