Players taking the knee

You probably have to move away from their website which is relatively sanitised and go back onto their social media.

I don't particularly love the source but the links in this article give additional context and are more important

I don't think theres anything massively "wrong" with any of it per se but as it keeps being said they're the sort of objectives and statements that will not have 100% support and will generate negative viewpoints in response.

 

Agree Aaron, based on that its often a gung ho approach to getting the message across that wont be everyones cup tea.

But, that article was from a political magazine and appeared to set out to discredit as much as possible, there wasn't much balance in there.

you can see how it (blm) winds people up, some dont need an excuse to though.

 

Agree on the source and the article. It's just an easier way of collecting the social media posts rather than having to post them all separately.

 

Huddersfield didn't 'take the knee' lol last night at Blackpool and won 3-0
A lesson we could learn...?

 

maybe you could do stats on how many did take the knee and win/lose or draw

 

Yer, like i've nowt else better to do lol...

 

We've got to stop this knee bollocks, didn't do it for most of last season, it's daft and embarrassing, in the real world hardly 1 in 10 would agree with it so how come all 11 do it ? it's just not right and past its sell by date....

 

And they are through no matter what?

 

In the real world probably 9 in 10 agree with letting people make their own mind up. If they want to do it then fair enough

 

You and I know they are instructed to do it so don't give me that..

 

who by?

 

You tell me, I would certainly like to know...

 

no one is telling them to do it. IT IS THEIR CHOICE, that is why some players/clubs don't do it

 

Yeah, alright, if you think that.....

 

So you don't know who is telling them to do it, have no evidence that anyone is telling them to do it but can not accept that it is the players decision.

 

That's right...

 

As usual you (incorrectly) assume that the rest of the world is as right wing and intolerant as you and the company you keep. You are not representative of what most people think. There is a much broader spectrum of views than yours.

 

It's not like you to post without using the words racist or racism...!!
And no grown man should be told to go down on one knee for any reason especially the one that they are purporting to support..
What I see most weeks now pre kick off is 11 free minds line up against 11 subservients, it's plain wrong and embarrassing.
But as I have said before, if they want to hold hands in the centre circle and play ring-a-ring of roses then that's fine..
If you think that your left wing ideology is the majority view then you are in the wrong country comrade...

 

Have you come up with a suggestion of who is making them kneel?

 

Nope, have you..?
