    I
    I just think it's making things ten times worse than they need to be by continuing to pander to ideologies that the majority of people in this country want no dealings with.
    If players want respect then they should stop acting like sheep. We are largely NOT a racist country, but you will never totally stop anything whether it's comments on race, weight, nationality, intelligence and a hundred other elements.

    I was looking at the BBC messages yesterday and there were people saying Rowett should be sacked for what he said<yikes>, going against the woke grain is a sackable offence in their eyes.
    Another message asked who would boo and why?, having been banned from BBC message boards before I knew to get my message across I knew I couldn't be abusive, threatening or antagonistic, two messages got through but were deleted within the hour, I tried again and got away with a few sly but polite digs which lasted a few hours before all seven of my replies were deleted.
    On that basis the knee is with us for evermore and anyone that voices disagreement are the devil incarnate and a racist, they are in denial and can't see that the knee is the most divisive thing in football.
    As for McAnuff and Morrison getting racially abused at Millwall total bollocks, ex players saying they were racially abused at Millwall is a bit like the #Metoo campaign.
    As a aside I do remember Morrison getting abused because he was a flash git, McAnuff I don't remember him so maybe now he is a bigtime pundit he feels he needs to make himself relevant by making these claims, we are a inclusive bunch at Millwall and we abuse everyone, star players,expensive players,playboy players,wife beating players, ex players we don't discriminate.

    But that's exactly it. It's nothing to do with race and never has been at every club.
    Over the years fans have taken the piss out of so called big shots, sharp dressers, ones with silly haircuts, those accused of cheating on wives or partners, those accused of being sicknotes, those who may have taken backhanders, and so on and so on. It was always about taking the piss and having a laugh, and the colour of the persons skin never entered into it. And that's what this snowflake and entitled generation just don't understand.

    The day free speech and having an opinion comes to an end there will be absolute anarchy. But that's almost what's at stake here unless people unite and push back on the crap that's being talked.

    The dangerous path they want us to go down is not to abuse black players at all which is discriminatory in itself, every footballer has a right to be abused as long as it's not racist or homophobic for which there are repercussions for those that do, banned from football,public shaming and loss of work.
