Anyone disputing this is either twisting the facts to suit their views or being influenced by info from sources wilfully twisting the facts to suit their narrative.
Footballers were joining a global anti-racism movement, not backing a political group, that was always clear. https://twitter.com/pfa/status/1339126936598155264

Personally, I’ve found it very impressive that footballers have felt empowered enough to send such strong messages. I’m all for anti-discrimination work of all kinds.
The morons booing the knee at the mo are prob the same attention seeking gobshites that ruin social media.

Unfortunately we’ll never rid the world of idiots, so how long does taking the knee continue?
If a player wants to do it before KO, all power to them, but the orchestrated collective knee taking can prob finish at the end of this year? Become too easy for idiots to ruin, sadly.

Just because someone doesn’t take the knee, it doesn’t mean they don’t agree with it. We all support good causes and the majority of people are kind natured, we don’t go around sporting badges of our beliefs all the time.
We live our lives in line with our morals and beliefs.

Anyway, interesting to see what happens. Clearly anti-racism work must continue throughout football and wider society but collective taking of the knee can’t continue forever.
Many important causes that sport has been used for raising awareness, which will no doubt continue.

Just to make 100pc clear: if you boo the taking of the knee then I think you’re an idiot who needs to educate themselves. It’s a peaceful act calling for equality.
