Re: Taking The Knee To Continue ?

Not at GB News….

Guto Harri quits GB News over taking the knee row https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-57885955

Harri says

Whatever nerdy types tell you about BLM and its associations taking the knee is a simple gesture that says you reject racism

That will do for me

Footballers can continue to do it for the rest of their lives, if they want. In their own homes, on holiday, in the supermarket. In training. etc, etc.. But I doubt they do, or will. But they'll do it when they have a large, captive audience who'll be vilified if they show any sign of disapproval. I also doubt it will change anyone's views -probably harden those on one end of the spectrum..

Yes, the people getting triggered now will continue to be, I agree with that.

Well it would be pointless kneeling to yourself . The Knee is clearly defined as opposition to racism . If someone objects to the gesture that's fine . But I think those prepared to boo it are racists . And a lot of people think that too . They will of course try to deny it but it doesn't wash with me . Object to it by writing letters or just keeping quiet , thats fine . That's showing displeasure . But booing it is crossing the line in my view .

I think people who are prepared to boo what could be black Cardiff City players showing a united front against racism are deserving of all the vilification they get .

"Despicable". "Obnoxious". "Proven Bully and liar". " Arrogant".

You disagree with knee-benders at your peril..

What's the term for opponents to "knee-benders"? Unhinged, perhaps?

I think Priti Patel is on the side of the knee benders these days isn't she - she was ten days ago anyway.

You think one must be 'unhinged' to oppose knee-bending, do you ?

I wouldn't go that far. I wouldn't be surprised if you had an ACL on the subject though!

I have lost them . She's I there and I can't even get in to help her out . Poor girls got no food or water either. It's a terrible end to a great career .

She has lovely hair as does her son

People who don't agree with it but respect people's right to protest , fine

People who think it's OK to boo black players doing it ?

Well I think racists is a fair term
