Pezo Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 While I don't agree with it I didn't boo it, its there choice to keep doing something so strongly linked to the black lives matter organisation. To be honest I didn't hear any booing of it in the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Notgetinya Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 I can’t see what it achieves now. What I’d like to see is a team actually walk off and not come back out next time a player is racially abused. Actions speak louder than any strongly condemning press statement ever will. Managers need to take that decision away from the players and make a stand but so far none have been bold enough. They would have my backing even if I’d driven 4 hours to watch the game.

Three Lions Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Was the kneeling for Hatun Tash or other victims of prejudice or because a minsiscule number of ******** out of tens of millions sent tweets to players during the Euros is proof this needs to be done for ever?

Silvio Dante Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Just imagine how insecure you must be to be triggered by a group of footballers making a gesture to show that they’re against racism. Just imagine the mental gymnastics you have to do to justify the booing on the basis that the footballers are Marxist. Just imagine being proud to live in a country with free speech and then booing when someone invoked theirs in a non violent or aggressive way. Just imagine. Luckily, about 99% of people applauded. But just imagine living in the heads and lives of the booers. It’s got to be exhausting living in such a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 There is already a thread on this subject that you could have added this too. Whilst I applauded personally it was a couple of seconds of quickly drowned about booing by a very small minority - do we really need a fan group preaching to other fans over the actions of a few? So elitist it’s laughable to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
