Because taking the knee is linked to BLM. BLM clearly are a political organisation who have some pretty far left goals such as ending capitalism, ending the nuclear family, defunding the police, its all on the websites both in the UK and US. The founders of BLM are self avowed "trained marxists" so yeah, not something anyone should be supporting.

Ask yourself this. If the booing was racist why did the same fans always clap for the Kick it Out pre-game announcement - which is clearly a charity and not a political movement?

This kind of stupidity is why they boo.

Bet NPE was all over this

I see little filter lines so it's highly plausible.

I'm sure there's bleating about how a submissive gesture of respect "Threatens the very fabric of our society"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Black people asking not to be racially abused whilst doing their jobs is being lectured to by multi millionaires apparently
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, is it suddenly open season on multi-millionaires?

It will be nice to see him step down from his staunch defence of Tory atrocities.

To quote Ralph Wiggum:"you're funny."

Oh Ralph, an intelligence far beyond those that support booing at England games

As far as I'm aware, although the gesture was taken from US sports the FA were pretty careful to disassociate the act from BLM at the start as it was triggered by racism going on online rather than stuff in the states.

The ones booing it seem to be the majority of the ones who are making it political and bringing BLM into it, which I'd imagine is mostly a veil to make grey area where they can be racist with justification, while stringing along some idiots who genuinely believe they're in the right.

I understand some players like Zaha feel the gesture is meaningless and some don't want to be associated with BLM, which is their right, but it seems like the feeling among the players is simply one of showing solidarity against racism and some players are either a little off the wavelength of others or just don't want a pity party because they cope in different ways, which is fine.

As a white man I know that if a co-worker asked me to make a small gesture like this to show I'm against racism I'd be happy to oblige as it's not for me to make decisions about how they should cope with these things going on, let alone boo them for it.

I honestly can't imagine how unfulfilled these peoples lives must be if they carry so much anger and resentment around regarding things that shouldn't really involve them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is it. All the claims that the message has been lost and so a new one is needed are ignoring the pertinent point that the reason they feel the message has been "lost" is because people who don't like the anti-racism message go out of their way to tenuous conflate the message with other things that are easier to get people to be against.

Taking the knee has not official affiliation with BLM. BLM is also not a political party. Taking the knee has no Marxist connections any more than wearing a poppy makes someone someone member if the EDL. Yet some people (Inc the mail etc) have managed to link taking the knee with Marxism so that they can be against it without having to openly admit that it's the ant-racism message they don't like.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Summed up.

I hate it when people take the knee in front of the queen and force their BLM support in her face

1) The people that say ‘BLM is a Marxist organisation’ are exactly the types who couldn’t define what Marxism is.

2) Grown men who boo are literally the weirdest people out there.

3) Defunding the police isn’t a bad idea at all - do a bit of research as to why that is an aim and I guarantee the reasons are quite logical.

True. The dolt right are getting dumber and their dog whistles louder so at least it should be much easier to identify them and embarrass their silly arguments in coming years.

I'm also filtered by NPE.

NPE and Rev are the kind of people that have me filtered. I must be doing something right.

Why is defunding the police a terrible idea? Do you know how much money is spent on policing in the US?

1) The American one is. The leader even preaches it while living in luxury and owning multiple properties. She is king of the Marxists.
2) Agree
3) No, it's a reetarded idea

She is king? Okaaay.

3) Defunding the police is a terrible idea - and the weird claim lefties make that if you look into the nitty gritty, you will realise its faddish claims about reforming the police are wonderful and its just being mis-sold, is kind of laughable.

You lack the capacity to grasp complex stuff like defunding police, which explains your opinions.

Its not your fault.
