From the horse's mouth ( LOFC twitter account)
"This is not an endorsement of any political party or views.
This is a show of unity against racial discrimination of all kinds.
This is why we kneel."
So, not political.
Make some ‘Leyton Orient Against Racism ‘ Badges. Sell them for a good cause. I’ll buy and wear one!
Just send your money to a good cause and support your club in its stance on racism.
I have spent thousands (six season tickets , kits, food and drink. Corporate etc,at The Orient over the years but if I wanted politics I’d join a political party .

If the players making an anti racist statement upsets you so much that you don't want to go, then don't, but it's a very odd hill to pick to die on. Unless you self-identify as a racist (in which case you can f*** off) then the players' statement is not aimed at you and you can safely ignore it.

Would you consider me to be a racist if I said ALL lives matter? Yes or No
Yes and a helmet too.
Max, what problems do you have, apart from being blind, unemployed and a moron?

The above exchange is reminding me of the famous Orwellian quote from Animal Farm – “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others”.
I’m with All Lives Matter, none are more equal than others!

It’s like talking to a brick wall. A massively thick brick wall.

I’m still trying to decide whether people like this have genuinely not listened to the countless counter-arguments to this, or have, and still think like this.
Either way you’re not exactly covering yourself with glory here. My stock response is try contacting Jobi MacAnuff on Twitter or via the club, and I’m sure he’ll put you right.
