What did taking the knee actually achive it was a big jesture which did what to stop racism. Much like clapping for the NHS gave nurses only a 3% payrise after a number or 1% increases devauleing their wages.

The fact that it was a symbol of protest back when Colin Kaepernick first did it. So much so it derailed his football career and now. Doesnt anyone see the irony in that is it done after the national anthem for the national team, if we are going to do it we should do it right because it just seems to be the new minutes silence.

If taking the knee is ineffective then doing it when you believe that to be true shouldn't really be an issue. It's not like it will defeat racism all by itself so those guys don't have to worry about getting blamed for its disappearance.

What is this individualistic crap you are spouting under the guise of a "real" concern. There is no I in team.
You get worse as the years roll by, when reason fails: - shout! You probably think it's working for you.

No need for this. Ironic considering players are kneeling mainly in protest at online abuse.

This time next year it will nearly be the World Cup and you can bet that there will be no protests from the players in Qatar.

Back to The Knee.. i think the players do it for one reason, but fans on both sides of 'the divide' just see it as yet another thing to argue over in the culture war.

KVN, Stoped is a totally different word with a different meaning from stopped. Youve just made yourself look stupid.

And your reply will be ...... "It doesn't matter that I'm not edumacated, at least I'm not a racist"

Within the laws of the land and the rules of the game.

I believe in individual freedom within that framework. The LV video on the Orient website covers the knee issue. Discussion and decision following his abuse. They will discuss again before the Walsall game and may go back to taking the knee.

Totally correct way of dealing with it. Deciding what they wish to do as a group and according to their views. Freedom in action.

Ah, so now you agree with my earlier post that they were making a point by not taking the knee and will probably revert to taking it vs Walsall. Thanks for confirming that you haven't got a clue what you're waffling on about.
