Excellent summary.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 2:06 pm I dont think we are all too far apart here. Most of us agree that racism is bad. The problem is BLM put a load of peoples backs up with statue defacing, riots, theyve blocked airports before, they're openly anti capitalist and anti police. So now we have this anti-racist gesture which 99% of people would normally go along with if it were not closely associated with BLM. The PL distanced themselves at the end of last season by removing BLM logo from shirts. I'm not sure if the knee was rebranded or not, if they did, it didnt work. I dont know what the answer is

Re: FAO Racists
They are going to ask the fans to take the knee as well, anyone standing up or sitting down gets a ban.

“Millwall fans didn’t boo because they are racist. They have taken many black players to their hearts over the years. They booed because what began as a single act of solidarity, has as usual turned into a protracted moral lecture. That is what irritates people”

Re: FAO Racists
The future? The issue is now and Nigel has drawn a very clear line. Not sure what issues in the future you are referring to, but i assume they will all be judged on their own merits.Millennial Snowflake wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 2:40 pmThis is exactly it.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 2:06 pm I dont think we are all too far apart here.

I don't agree with booing of players who take the knee but don't like the universal acceptance of BLM as a political movement and the idea that anyone who opposes it is racist. That's a dangerously divisive narrative.
Think the club is setting a risky precedent threatening bans too. Don't doubt that many of those who booed are probably racist, but don't see how you can prove the act of booing a gesture as racist or discriminatory - where does the line get drawn in future? Still, my f*cking chairman etc

Re: FAO Racists
"The content of the "protracted moral lecture" seems to be "If you're a racist, then you're a silly sausage and we don't want you at football" - that's it.PutneyO wrote: ↑Mon Dec 07, 2020 4:54 pm “Millwall fans didn’t boo because they are racist.

Now I can only really see one group of people who might be upset at receiving that "lecture" - and I'm not overly concerned about their feelings."
