I understand slightly why nfl fans dont like players kneeling during national anthem. Even though I disagree with the people against it. But I just can't imagine the hate these people who are against kneeling for 5 seconds before the whistle. They try to justify themselves by saying some nonsense about marxism like they even know what it means. They called martin luther king jr and the civil rights movement communists too. White men scared of change! No better sight.

Taking the knee looks nice that’s about it , it’s just these big corporations ticking the representation box, like have they truly they set any campaigns or agendas to make active change, Yh raising awareness is good but that just a start, not even a start tbh but a small step in making a start. I understand what mings is saying but face it keeping it in the conversation won’t stop racism just reminds people that it exists

I don't know why everyone is going Zaha is right or Mings is right I think they both have good arguments for it and both need to have their opinions valued and respected, they are both in their own ways right and should choose whether they do it or not.

At the end of the day every man for himself. But more effective mechanisms must be design to change legislation, the knee brings awareness but no change
Ali Constantine22 dagen geleden
He spoke about how kids want to do it in their grassroots game, and I understand why that would make players feel proud, but do kids understand the message or are they just doing it because they’ve seen their favourite player do it?

Black lives matter as an organisation is a danger to society. Mingz says the knee has nothing to do with supporting them, absolutely brainwashed. Football isn't a place for politics, fans get a 3 hour break from politics when they go to a game. Wait until the stadiums are full. Not that I agree with it but there will be booing almost every game I am sure of it, and nobody can silence that. I also find it quite ironic talking about racism in one of the most ethnically diverse industries in the world. There is always going to be a handful of bell ends that ruin it for everyone, the same way there will always be thieves and drug addicts and domestic abuse etc. What we going to start doing to recognise ALL issues, where does it end?
Moin Khan23 dagen geleden
Im listening to this and hes full on saying BLM. The way i see the knee is that everyone is equal but standing up for 1 min would be the exact same its literally pointless. Its like a min of silence etc

What inequalities? You’re a black man earning thousands of pounds weekly, playing in the best league in the world and in the England squad. What oppression have you experienced? A few racists saying mean words on social media does not qualify as systemic racism or institutional racism. You work hard and you reap the benefits in life, no one is holding you back.
Fr At23 dagen geleden
no, sorry, but this is not powerful gesture, but calling out hypocrisy is. what inaquality he's talking about, it's a sport, if you good enough nobody cares about your skin color, nobody will play some random white dude instead of Mbappe just because of skin color. I remember Seedorf was complaining that he not getting a job in Italy clubs because he is black, yeah, it has nothing to do with his perfomance as a manager in Milan and other teams, stop make everything about a racism.

Yes it is still out there and always will be. Racism is just a form of tribalism. Except when Scots throw insults at the English no one bothers, or when Hutu kill Tutsis no one says that it is racism per se. But the issue is the same at a root level. Groups identify based on culture, religion, income bracket, colour or the town they were born in.

I respectfully disagree, what is the point of taking the knee? You can make a reasonable argument that it's for awareness. Which has been achieved so this has run its course. Now taking the knee is more about "at least we are doing something" rather than evaluating what is being done. We can implement a UK version of "Rooney rule", harsher punishment for clubs & players found guilty etc.
