    Well I can’t ask Ellers as he’s just been arrested for calling George Floyd a bad guy.

    Said before it was wrong what that copper did to him and he has been jailed.
    However 2 points.
    Firstly George Floyd is no role model and secondly many crimes happen in the states to all sorts of people (including the police).

    Bob is like many others. You try to give an alternative argument or point of view and they either come back with a stupid remark or go down the usual route.
    Just humour them.

    Not sure why you’ve randomly brought up George Floyd but has anyone here said he’s a role model?

    In recent times, it was used by black athletes as a protest during the singing of the US national anthem. But since last year, when Floyd was killed, it has been hijacked by the militant Maxist organisation that is BLM.

    Oh ffs Ellers, give your head a shake. When anybody else gives a different view to you, names get called, you tell everyone they talk rubbish etc etc. Have an open mind once in a while, its quite refreshing. May help the gammons like yourself and Goldy.

    I'm quite sure the England team haven't spared me a thought, Bob, but kind of you to mention it.

    I dont care either way if players take the knee for something they believe in. It takes seconds. You gammons really need to calm down.

    So all of a sudden you are all young and hip and some of us who are probably younger than you are ‘gammons’? <doh> You'll be saying lol next.

    I'll be supporting them too, but also those who go to the match and exercise their right of free speech and express their displeasure at the national team taking a submissive position re an aggressive Communist cult.

    Youre definately older than me Ellers. You can spot a gammon easily nowadays.

    Thats your opinion. Its not that of those who are participating in taking the knee, so you boo away, that should inspire confidence.

    They'll be expecting it. They could have chosen another form of expressing the message, but chose to dig in. Views are now polarised. It won't go away.

    Kowtowing to the sort of weirdos who know the situation and will still choose to boo young men representing the country they claim to passionately support would’ve been a bad look.

    Other teams and clubs manage it. They could have given the message and had all the crowd on their side. They chose not to.
