‘For most black people it is a weekly occurrence’

How can you know that?

I find your assumption incredible as you rarely see police on the streets these days. You imply that they are out there daily and weekly stopping every black person?

Nobody is asking individual fans to take the knee. Nobody is asking individual fans to be anything other than anti-racist. The club's own captain, who is black and has experienced racism first-hand, has explained eloquently why these pre-match actions are important. So what gives a bunch of white men greater right to say this is wrong?

If you're a racist, f*** off you are not welcome. If you are not racist, but don't think racism is a problem in this country, then (a) are you kidding? and (b) respect other people's right to continue marking why THEY think it's a problem. And if you have some political objections to the whole idea of taking the knee, then turn your back or close your eyes for the whole 3 seconds whenever it happens.

How about we don't treat people differently based on their skin colour instead of making futile gestures?

Clear to see from the replies to the clubs announcement on Twitter that they've got this totally wrong. The only way out I can see is to come up with a new non-BLM affiliated empty gesture like Millwall have to unite the fans and defeat racism forever.

Thousands of likes, a couple of dozen railing against it but similar numbers praising it. Clear to see that the club has got this totally right.

Looks like I missed the announcement by the proprietor of the Message Board where he added bullying of Boarders to Moderation duties.

You are starting to sound like you want to be a booer
Backwards M .

Be a Man & do it if thats how you feel .
Dont be weak .
Boo what you dont like .
Have courage in your convictions
( if it is what you dont like )
‘My friends circle is wide’.

So you are an authority now on ‘Racism in the UK’

All your wide range of friends are being pulled up by the police weekly.

Utter nonsense Tuffer. You are inventing and your imagination is fantastic. Implying that all black people are stopped ‘weekly’.

As for the athlete being stopped, highly publicised. There are two sides to every story and that matter which unlike your earlier ‘nine year old incident’ is a live investigation. The subject of that stop was keen to broadcast her phone footage. The police have not released the body camera film worn by the police. This will all be revealed at any tribunal hearing. It is wrong of you to imply wrong doing as the police involved are not here to defend themselves and the matter is currently being investigated.

Tuffer, stop trying to create issues that do not exist.

Mocking my name does not add weight to your point incidentally and is a form of racism in itself so grow up?

No bullying, just healthy debate.

He said he knew some black athletes being hounded by the police. Upon further questioning this turns out to be someones aunt living abroad and no mention of the police.

Oops my mistake. Best ignore the literally dozens of other similar situations where you debated with the same person so skilfully.
