Thought this was pretty good from the Colchester chairman https://www.cu-fc.com/news/2020/december/club-statement/For those struggling with the concept behind taking a knee, this bit explains it (clue: nothing to do with "Marxism") "Callum Harriot described the purpose of the gesture perfectly to me explaining that taking the knee dates back to early civil rights movements as a way of silently showing solidarity in support of political inequalities suffered by oppressed communities. Those that take the knee want to highlight that all lives should be valued and should not be treated inhumanely or inferior to others just because of their race."

A good article about Millwall: https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/ken-early-taking-the-knee-is-not-just-an-empty-gesture-it-never-was-1.4429248Saturday’s events triggered plentiful hot takes defending the booing as the correct response to the hectoring of the wokescolds. Not many of these reckoned with the words of Millwall defender Mahlon Romeo, who told the South London Press : “What they’ve done is booed and condemned a peaceful gesture which was put in place to highlight, combat and stop any discriminatory behaviour and racism. That’s it – that’s all that gesture is. And the fans have chosen to boo that, which for the life of me I can’t understand. It has offended me and everyone who works for this club – the players and the staff... This is the first time I feel disrespected. Because you have booed and condemned a peaceful gesture which – and it needs repeating – was put in place to highlight, combat and tackle any discriminatory behaviour and racism in general. I’m almost lost for words.”

People on here are blinkered to what is happening in our country. I recommend that a view of Alex Belfield on Youtube could be of assistance.
Fucking hell, this reminds me of a 15 year old me. What a cock.

Perhaps if Flashheart lived in the UK he might be a little better informed.
Are you a bit dim or something? How would my location make a difference?

There appear to be a baffling number of people with such views.
it comes through even from relatives and friends in Facebook posts/share
I don't know how you deal with that. I really don't

One of the most baffling things about all this kerfuffle is that the players are only kneeling for a few moments. That is all they are doing.
Their action does nothing to anybody else's life if they don't want it to. Zero. Nobody is telling you how to live your life or what to do in any way shape or form - other than putting up with the horrendous inconvenience of having to watch people kneel down for a few seconds. Nobody is even making you kneel if you don't want to. Just fucking ignore it and it will make absolutely zero difference to you. Nada. Fucking zilch.
At the same time, it is in support of a movement that is trying to make a very significant positive difference to the lives of many. It's fucking bizarre that people would complain about it considering what it stands for.
Innocent people are oppressed and even killed. LITERALLY. But some would rather moan about some other people kneeling down for a little while.
Fuck off.

That absolutely hits the nail on the head for me, and I say that as someone who has issues with a lot of the views held by BLM activists. It's not hard to guess how those same people booing would react if others dared to boo the Remembrance Day silence for example.

He didn't say that. But society would be a nicer place if they did. Wrong. We now have affirmative action in many cases.
We're still awaiting for proof of this affirmative action you speak of.
