1/ I've just watched Don Goodman on Sky Sports say that if Millwall fans boo players taking the knee tonight then it's for bad reasons (he means racism). He said the players have said taking the knee is not about politics, so there's no excuse to boo them for taking the knee.
2/ Sadly for the players the fact is taking the knee is about politics. That, and the black power salute, are symbols of BLM, which is now a political party. There's no escaping that. Denying that basic and understood fact just highlights the dishonesty on show.
3/ The players and Sky Sports cannot claim it's not about BLM when Black Lives Matter is plastered across our screens. Donations have been made to that movement-cum-political party, and its agenda is to attack police, deface statues and demand Marxist overthrow of the govt.
4/ The fact is Sky Sports and the likes of Don Goodman want to silence opposition to this politicisation of football. The actions, symbols and language of BLM is not about stopping racism. It's not about equality, but treating people differently on the basis of skin colour.
5/ Saying "it ain't so" doesn't mean it isn't so. The Millwall Supporters Club statement was spot on in its assessment of what taking the knee is all about. No amount of gaslighting by Sky Sports and Don Goodman changes that.
6/ "Kick Racism out of Football" is anti racist. It isn't a political party, hasn't called for defunding the police, hasn't seen activists defacing monuments or rioting, doesn't indulge in black power salutes and doesn't require people to follow BLM's take the knee antics.
7/ It's time to kick BLM out of football and off our TV screens. But TV producers don't want to do that because it would be to admit they were conned into backing a divisive and Marxist campaign which does not have anti racism or equality at its heart. Shame on them.
