BLM - Will you boo ?

Re: BLM - Will you boo ?

This morning you had Tory cabinet minister George Eustice saying as BLM "are a political movement" the Millwall fans were entitled to boo. The Right will make BLM entirely a political thing if it's the last thing they'll do.

Can't wait until the Tories say that Homophobia and Misogyny are also "political opinions" and therefore you have to respect people who have those views.

They would too, bunch of disingenuous bastards.

He was UKIP and now Tory, says everything.

Who would have thought Nigel Farage and Julia Hartley Brewer (no relation) would have such a keen interest in Millwall FC and it’s supporters

Re: BLM - Will you boo ?

Does it need to be pointed out again that the players taking a knee has NOTHING to do with BLM?

'anymore', it certainly did at the start, they had it written on their shirts.. Dion Dublin conflated the two things just yesterday when talking about the Millwall yobbos too.

Well how else can they defend Boris 'tank top bum boys' and 'watermelon smiles' Johnson?

Re: BLM - Will you boo ?

Is the current practice of 'taking the knee' in place until the end of the season?

Four out of about fifty five voting voting yes I see, that equates to something like 170 in a crowd of 2,000 - the trouble is it would only need a small proportion of that minority to start booing for Cardiff City to be the subject of the same sort of headlines Millwall have been getting.

Ive never thought of giving up watching the club. I really dont think I would want to be part of a club that reacted like that on Saturday. I think that would be it for me.

I think after the negative press that Millwall have received there would be a few reluctant to actually voice their opinions in the ground even if they're happy to do so on an anonymous poll on here (and I notice than none of the 4 on here have owned up to it), and that there would probably be quite a few in the ground prepared to tell the booers to shut up.

I also am aware that if the same poll was posted on another message board the result might be quite different.

Yes
No

No I wouldn’t boo and I support the BLM ethos but I do question how long this is is going to go on for. There are many good causes to support and far too many atrocities to denounce. It must come to an end at some point and somebody has to be brave enough to make that happen.

Re: BLM - Will you boo ?

Why do you think it will get stale, and what are you basing your opinion on? it's not a marketing ploy, maybe what you're saying is that it will start annoying a certain demographic a bit more, the longer it goes on-Racism doesn't stop, can't see why taking the knee has to.

Arguably BLM should evelove to be more inclusive such as Racism Must Stop or go even further to Bigotry must stop.

Interesting what Simon Jordan is saying about millwall fans now on TS.

Re: BLM - Will you boo ?

He reckons they see it as kick back, using football as a tool for other people’s agendas and not using football for a political message? Says he grew up in that area so know the fans and area well.....

What is the agenda though? Don't be racist?

What has the word come to when don't be racist is a political message?

People who conflate the taking a knee and the phrase black lives matter with the political motivations of a minority were always looking for an excuse to be against it.

Re: BLM - Will you boo ?

Sure it’s a very complex thing, not saying I agree with him in any way. Reckons they were booing the method of delivery, the messaging etc...they’ve voted for a black player of the year 5 times in last 10 he says. Have a listen
