I would be interested to see a single study that ranks The US as the most diverse nation on earth though.

HorsforthRam Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I’ll be going. Not overly concerned about COVID. However, having seen the last two England games I am concerned about the booing of players who take the knee. If it happens at PP I, along with my son and other friends will be leaving and not coming back anytime soon. I am a ST holder and travel 180 miles there and back on match days and follow away when I can. I am also a person of colour, and the booing is something neither myself and my son will put up with. The excuse that the booing is against Marxism is laughable. LeedsCityRam, Premier ram, Andicis and 13 others 5 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be such a sad thing to see , this whole situation with taking the knee blm and other political aims intertwined has turned into a bloody mess ,I whish to god we could find a new symbolic action that was free from the other stuff so there’s nowhere to hide and was pure anti racism equality , there is no place or excuse for racism no matter anyone’s political leanings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good one! Definitely the thing to do. Let the minority of booing racists know what utter bankers they really are. They need calling out for exactly what they are, not all this softly softly approach allowing them to hide behind 'political' posturing indeed.

They will just shift to a new reason why they are booing. We’re not racist it will be claimed, but when players, journalists, governing bodies have all come out and said look, this is why players are taking the knee and they still boo. It does look like they are kinda supporting racism. Comrade 86, Reggie Greenwood, MickD and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a white fella I really find it hard to give an an informed opinion, as I've never walked in your shoes, so I'll go with taking on board what you and the players are saying. I certainly wouldnt boo. CKR has done an interview in the athletic last week, his opinion is the symbol of - 'taking the knee' he feels is derogatory in itself and suggests a submissive meaning. Says he's told all lads of colour at the club this too and why he does the black power salute. And why the team now don't take the knee but stand together. Opinions....

uttoxram75 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I've hid the last few posts due to being off topic and straying into political/racism debates (including my own). Its a debate I personally would love to have but the rules of the forum are clear and this thread is about returning after covid and not about taking the knee.

It does look like they are kinda supporting racism. I'd suggest that's an outrageous post. No one ever booed any other anti-racism initiatives. There are reasons to boo the Black Lives Matter kneeling. My immediate family is half black, half white and everything in between, and united against the BLM stance. For most decent people, disagreeing with BLM has absolutely nothing to do with racism. I'd probably turn my back on it. In previous posts on this topic I think I've tried to explain the original context of the Kaepernik protests, why they were appropriate and why they are inappropriate out of context in the UK. But this isn't meant to be a political thread. MickD, David Graham Brown, Archied and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
