    What's your view, have you taken the knee, if not, would you if you were confronted by a mob of white unwashed unemployed far left ****wits demanding you get on your knee for being a white privileged slave trader?
    That's if you're a honkey of course

    No it’s fact when my viewing is interrupted by people pushing a certain agenda it is stopping my freedom to view, and before you say turn it off what about my freedom of choice or don’t I have any freedom

    Can't answer you all. My view is everyone is entitled to their opinion. You have the freedom of choice. You are the ones trying to push your agenda and way of thinking so people agree with your belief. How does that make you any different? Kneel, don't kneel, I don't really care. I'm not bothered with your need to insult me because I'm not following your narrative, that is the very point of freedom of speech. As long as we win against Fulham my world is good.

    What about the fans who paid to watch a football match,not people showing support for a terrorist group, and then playing crap probably because they had their minds on other things not the match.
    Are they going to pay the fans back.

    Yes everyone is entitled to their opinion but don't appreciate opinions being shoved down my throat by people pushing their agenda which is what taking the knee is doing Fact

    However many times you repeat it, that’s not what they’re actually doing. Whether BLM the organisation is a ‘terrorist group’ is certainly open to some debate, but people taking the knee are not doing it for the ‘organisation’ they’re doing it to show support/solidarity against prejudice.

    I don’t personally like BLM as a slogan, and I don’t agree with the ongoing knee stuff - it normalises it, and I think many are doing it because they feel they should, or feel pressured into it. I’d personally rather the tokenism was stopped and more effort was put into local anti-racism initiatives and a program of events across the season.

    But just my view

    You don't know that at all <doh> what proof do you have that they don't support BLM the terrorist group. They are there to play football,as they were very poor at football, maybe not having their minds on the game, should they pay back the fans, who didn't get what they paid for.

    I understand what you are saying and in the main I agree
    Wether intentional or not taking the knee is politicising the game we are also seeing clenched fists which denotes black power
    I disagreed with the leeds salute which we as a club were going to use as our emblem for similar reasons

    Thank you, and yet I’ve no need of a barber as I cut my own hair. Maybe I just reflect a majority view?

    Oh and welcome from me too. I must admit I have certain reservations around new posters who, from day one, are able to limit viewing of their profile. Perhaps that is just me, sensitive soul that I am?
