    You're calling out what you think is wokery (not a real word), not what actually is. your opinion isn't fact and not everyone agrees with you.

    Last Saturday I believe Doncaster as a team took the knee yet some of ours didn't.

    Originally taking the knee was a statement by the players to make people aware of racism, will these same players also be taking the knee to raise awareness about the crushing of women’s rights, gay rights and migrants’ rights in an Islamist state where they’ll be playing football next year.
    I think most know the answer to that, just as we and other countries turn a blind eye to what goes off in the likes Saudi Arabia, unfortunatly as they have a very large input into many countries economies we also know the answer to that,

    Can not beat a bit of what about ism.

    Are you boycotting all things Saudi related to show how you feel

    the difference being I answered the question he asked when he asked it. my follow on was regarding been told what he thinks is his business and no one else’s which again is a fair point but if that is the case then he shouldn’t be questioning what other people think or do.

    So now you're the one suggesting what people should or shouldn't be saying, why does it matter so much to you?

    my point is if people don’t want their thoughts questioned then they shouldn’t question others. I’m fine with people questioning what I think and as I said I answered straight away.

    I take it you thought the Northampton display of solidarity against racism was also out of order?

    I liked what Northampton did...I feel it's a better way to reject all forms of discrimination, it's not just racism that's a problem.
