    'Glance down at your distended abdomen and try and remember what your toes look like for Taiwan' doesn't have the same catchy ring to it.

    Fans pay money to watch players entertain.

    They don't pay to be preached at with societal or political issues particularly by those who only do it because they've been told to by the committee who's only interest is to maximise the revenue for their 20 members.

    Good ****ing riddance.

    Didn't City players stop taking the knee because Wilkes and Magennis thought it was a pointless gesture? Anyway, it seems to have lost its impact overall

    Aaand here’s the divisiveness. People arguing over a pointless part of a big issue they actually agree on. Not everyone who thinks it’s pointless is a bigot. Including the people of colour who don’t agree with it.

    The same old insecure farts on here are.

    Why is drawing attention to racial prejudice & inequality pointless?

    It’s not. I’m all for reporting incidents of racism and prosecuting people accordingly. I’m just less fussed about a choreographed gesture while a commentator essentially says “this is because some people are racist.” Again, I draw your attention to the numerous black players who think the exact same thing. It’s not a prejudice thing with some people. It’s about logic.

    Why only draw attention to racial prejudice?
    Why not take the knee for other societal issues like rape, *****philia or animal abuse?
    Oh wait, that means some players would be called out for being disingenuous.
    Particularly the ones who have been caught and are awaiting their trial date.

    I've not seen any racial prejudice or inequality in the 20 years we've been at the KCOM/MKM?
