This isn't really about you though. As long as your respectful of what players clearly feel is an important gesture, then it doesn't really matter, but it's odd to me that so many white fans feel the need to moan about it when it's not about them.

We're all quite capable of showing respect without having to get down on our knees

Absolutely agree.

One way we can do this is respect those that do choose to take a knee, especially when no one is asking us to.

We're all different ..... I can appreciate it that some of us might like getting down on our knees

We can all live in hope that one day every person will respect each other for who they are and no other reason.

The kneeling thing is so patronising that it is embarrassing, lets all be sensible and have a minutes silence.

You can! When they kneel, which is something you do not wish to do (and fine, completely understand that), you can have a more appropriate to you minute silence.

Interesting to know if anyone kneels in their home, the office or the supermarket.

Those of the Muslim faith do for sure.
