They're so fucking dim they don't realise doing that shows that taking the knee is needed.

I do kind of get the 'I just want to watch the fucking game' sentiment but then again it's just a few seconds. That said there was a Derby player doing a Black Power salute which I find difficult to defend

They don't mind when we have our remembrance games, they don't mind when we have applause for someone dying. They care about this because they're racist.

First step is a points deduction, if that doesn't deter them go back to forcing them to go BCD
Maybe you should ask him for an apology. Very rude of him to offend you while he tried to ask for equality for five seconds, I’m sure he can make it more palatable for you in the future.

Anybody notice the difference between our badges. Millwall not supporting rainbow laces because the scumbags are homophobes too.

I actually thought take the knee had run its course myself while still supporting the sentiment
I was in the company of a quite well known black blues supporter recently who told me it was time to stop it.
But this will only prolong it now the fucking idiots and so it should otherwise it's giving into racism.
We're not racists but....
We're not hooligans but.....
Edit - following on from LGs post ' we're not homophobes but!'

Millwall manager - "The players have spoken about it and said they don’t support it as a political message. They support anti-discrimination and that’s why they’ve done it."

The Millwall players released this statement yesterday.
Seems an awful lot of fans just ignored it .
As a squad we are fully supportive of the entire football family’s efforts in ridding the sport, and society generally, of all forms of discrimination.
“It is our duty as players to reinforce the positive messaging and action of clubs, Community Trusts, charities and governing bodies, and we do so with great pride and knowledge that so much good work is being done up and down the country.
“The gesture of ‘taking the knee’ before matches provides an opportunity for us to do exactly that and continues to allow all those playing to publicly showcase their support – on behalf of the whole squad – for the fight against discrimination.
“We wish to make clear that taking the knee, for us, is in no way representative of any agreement with political messaging or ideology. It is purely about tackling discrimination, as has been the case throughout.
“We will continue to do this until the start of the New Year when a new and comprehensive anti-discrimination strategy will be announced by the club.”

What the fuck are you talking about?
What does that if even true have to do the fact Millwall have a history of being racist?

Is anybody really thinking that it's about Marxism? I still don't get the notion that being anti fascist makes you the bad. Maybe now it's been made clear it's about anti racism they will all respect it. I'm sure that will happen.

I’m never condoning racism far from it just seems the lefties in here only see racism from the other side.
I don’t see colour in people just treat people how I like to be treated,I have loads of black and asian mates.
Just think if people want to boo it let them don’t get bothered about it,Rise above it!!

The only people who think being anti racist is bad are racists and let them fucking squirm as society outs them as cunts.

Loads of black and asian friends. The 80s wants it's bullshit defense of racism back.
So you really think that when black players take the knee they’re thinking “One step closer to the proletariat seizing the means of production, my brothers” rather than “It would be cool if security guards stopped following me around the supermarket for wearing a hoodie” etc? That’s the debate they’re trying to have?

You've just made an.ill advised attempt to deflect from the clearly racist behaviour of a notoriously racist group of supporters
If you think this union Jack incident needs discussing start a thread on it but it seems like a poor attempt at whatabouttery to me.
The fact you've got a two tone avatars makes it all the more baffling

"rise above it"
fuck off with that shit. How much do black people have to endure before they're allowed to do something as simple as kneel down for 10 seconds without being abused.

Because of its historical association with opposition to the non-violent movement. MLK was at best reluctant to embrace it as a gesture.
