Excellent summary.

They are going to ask the fans to take the knee as well, anyone standing up or sitting down gets a ban.

“Millwall fans didn’t boo because they are racist. They have taken many black players to their hearts over the years. They booed because what began as a single act of solidarity, has as usual turned into a protracted moral lecture. That is what irritates people”

This is exactly it.

I don't agree with booing of players who take the knee but don't like the universal acceptance of BLM as a political movement and the idea that anyone who opposes it is racist. That's a dangerously divisive narrative.

Think the club is setting a risky precedent threatening bans too. Don't doubt that many of those who booed are probably racist, but don't see how you can prove the act of booing a gesture as racist or discriminatory - where does the line get drawn in future? Still, my f*cking chairman etc
The future? The issue is now and Nigel has drawn a very clear line. Not sure what issues in the future you are referring to, but i assume they will all be judged on their own merits.

"The content of the "protracted moral lecture" seems to be "If you're a racist, then you're a silly sausage and we don't want you at football" - that's it.

Now I can only really see one group of people who might be upset at receiving that "lecture" - and I'm not overly concerned about their feelings."
