Taking the knee debate

I'm getting sick of all this to be honest. I've never been an advocate for kneeling for anything but I equally wouldn't boo someone for taking a knee themselves.
The problem is, these fans have paid good money to watch their team play. They boo at things all through the match and that never seems to get flagged up.
I've finally come to the conclusion that, if a player wants to take a knee, that is his decision and right to do so. However, it is also the right of any fan to boo if they so wish, its a free country.
I don't think politics and sport should ever mix anyway but these media outlets will keep talking about it and making it an issue. It's like Morgan freeman said, if you want to eradicate something, stop talking about it all the time.

Rant over

 

Racism won’t go away if you stop talking about it

it’s been going on for too long. The problems are being confronted as we are supposed to be living in a ‘tolerant’ society

if the players kneel I’ll support them.if they don’t kneel, I support them

The biggest issue for me in all this is people telling non white players how they should be feeling when all you need to do is look at a players socials after a bad performance

rashford has done more for the future generation of children in a short time than most can in their lives and is still racially abused

 

Like I say, I'd never boo them whether I agree with what they're doing or not. I'd equally never tell a non white player how they should be feeling.
I'm under no illusion whatsoever that they get racially abused after every game. That is more up to the social media companies to deal with but they don't seem to want to combat that for some reason.
Like I say, the kneeling is becoming more a pardoy now and it isn't achieving anything at all. Keep politics out of sport and let the fans just enjoy the game they paid for.

 

At least the booing got drowned out today. There was some booing for Croatia's national anthem unfortunately. I honestly can't understand how an adult person would go to a football game and boo the opposition National anthem. Its completely pathetic.

 

Agreed.....unless it's scotland of course

 

Its quite simple really, its booed as it is in the name of a controversial political movement. Anyone who cant see this and thinks it is simply racists might as well appear as a pundit on talksport

 

Kappernick started kneeling. Due to inequality
