People want to keep politics out of football, I am sure they are not booing it for any other reason. Just for the record there are also many black players who don't agree with it and who are fed up with it too.
Completely agree Sniff. It’s become a hollow ritual with political connotations which has out stayed it’s welcome.
So what would you prefer to replace it?
Everyone was behind the Kick it Out campaign. Something similar which would get everyone on board would be better than the finger wagging by Southgate and the spoilt millionaire players. Doubling down on the divisive Knee virtue signalling and calling fans who object to it ‘racist’ helps no one.
Its all well and good making 'positive gestures' (Taking the knee) but football itself is still a very institutional racial industry.
I have just read a very interesting piece about black managers in the PL. Out of 240 that have managed in the PL, only 9 (NINE) of those managers were black and two of them, Terry Conner and Hayden Mullins, were in interim roles. Our own Chris Hughton is in the 9 and Ruud Gullit was the first. The other managers are:- Paul Ince, Jean Tigana, Darren Moore, Nuno Espirito Santo and Chris Ramsey.
Shockingly, in June 2020, there were only 6 BAME (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic) managers throughout the entire 92 EFL and PL clubs.
