    At least you’re honest about supporting a murderer.

    Football is the biggest example of inclusivity as onlyn3% of the population is black and a higher proportion than that of the England team is black. That is because football is a meritocracy and people get where they are on their ability and not as a box ticking exercise. Though apparently the Lionesses are racist cause the had no lack players in their team in the Euros. Funny how no one gets as worked up about Asians who comprise 3 times more of the population than blacks not being represented in the England team.

    “”Black Lives Matter is an organization co-founded by Patrisse Cullors, Alicia Garza, and Opal Tometi that has roots in Marxism.

    “We actually do have an ideological frame[work],” Cullors said of her organization in 2015. “We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories.”

    They're not kneeling in support of Black Lives Matter.

    In fact, if it wasn't for the reaction after the Euros, I doubt they'd be kneeling at all.

    They started in support of BLM. And have carried on.

    If truth be told I don't think they know what they are kneeling for anymore.

    Funny to see them kneeling whilst the Americans, including their black players, didn’t.

    They are expressly not doing it in support of BLM, if you chose not to believe them, that’s entirely up to you. <ok>

    They changed it only after they realised they'd ****ed up supporting an organisation founded by Marxists that have robbed it blind. Had they had an ounce of with they would have known that. Whoever initiated it should be sacked.

    So, Kane didn’t say we should carry on in support of them? Any links to them saying they are not expressly doing it in support of BLM, as I haven’t seen them say that. (Which of course doesn’t mean they haven’t, I just haven’t seen it).
    What exactly are they taking the knee for? What are they supporting that other countries aren’t bothered about?

    England manager Gareth Southgate has said the England team's actions were not in support of the Black Lives Matter organisation, he said: "We have got a situation where some people seem to think it is a political stand that they don't agree with. That is not the reason the players are doing it. We are supporting each other."

    It's a statement against racism, nothing more.

    Exactly. Nail on head. Just a bunch of virtue signalling sheep hoping a lazy gesture will make a difference when in fact getting off your arse and working in education and community projects is the answer for making the World a better place.

    It started off because they were supporting it. They are supporting each other? Against what? Why is no one else doing it?
