When I watch the stream, I always avoid watching players taking the knee by popping into the kitchen and doing something more enjoyable like the washing up.

Re: Time for kneeling to stop?
Kneeling for 3 seconds is clearly not working. I therefore propose that it be extended to 6 seconds and doubling thereafter every 2 weeks until we Get Racism Done.
Anyone who doesn't agree is clearly not anti-racist enough.

Re: Time for kneeling to stop?
The fact that people are now actually taking enough notice to start booing surely suggests the exact opposite of what you said?RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 19, 2020 11:42 amNot me personally but I think people in general will start to take less and less notice of it .Ronnie Hotdogs wrote: ↑Sat Dec 19, 2020 11:24 amI beg your pardon?

Re: Time for kneeling to stop?
It's good to see that those opposing it are only doing so for the fact they want it to have more impact in another way, and because of their concerns about marxism specifically. And only those two reasons.
They are fully behind the idea! They just hate thinking it isn't gaining enough traction nor do they enjoy the works of Karl Marx.

Assume that Bera is taking the piss, but anyone booing it at home sounds like the saddest kind of muppet imaginable.

DuvB has however duly obliged with muppertry - 2nd post page 1.
And at this juncture the prosecution rests its case.
It is very simple. Give your swede a big old wobble if you’re against this gesture in any shape of form. Keep doing it until it dawns you that you’re objecting to an anti-racist gesture. You big old racists.

I get the feeling now that racism is a subject discussed between the older generations, yet is paid no attention to by the younger generation who live side by side with each other happily

It seems like a lot of you don’t have young children, don’t interact with young kids in any way shape or form.
The young of today do not see things the way some on this board do, they are totally against racists, against victimisation, bullying and so on. They will drive this world forwards in a positive way.

Re: Time for kneeling to stop?
Very provocative to boo if people kneeling but would be difficult to prove they were racist. People shout and scream during Remembrance Sunday at large and small gatherings, for various reasons. People booed at Thatcher’s funeral. People may boo at football as they are just fed up with political statements and want them to get on with it. ‘Why are we waiting’ used to be another chant. I would never ‘boo’ kneeler, neither would I shout vile abuse at a Linesman. People should just grow up and respect everyone.

LOFC a privately owned concern
Has stated anyone who boos players taking the knee will
Be banned .
No proof of racism/bigotry needed .
Just proof they booed
Bit like a Shop refusing entry to anyone they dont want to enter.

Re: Time for kneeling to stop?
Yes, exactly. Which is why I will never do ‘booing’. Would never want to be anywhere associated with racism.

You clearly don't get how important this whole exercise is.
So here's something to stare at until all the racist is washed away

Re: Time for kneeling to stop?
It’s pretty clear. It follows my post. Racism is a subject spoken about by the older generation but no longer an issue amongst the young who have grown up happily in a multi racial society.Max B Gold wrote: ↑Sat Dec 19, 2020 9:32 pmIt means he interacts a lot with young kids.

As with all news in the UK , it’s the sensationalism of the media to pick out a single story and turn it into a national issue.
