Cardiff City Football Club and its First Team playing squad and staff will continue to observe the taking of the knee ahead of fixtures this season.

Members of Cardiff City’s First Team squad have asked for it to be reiterated to supporters on the eve of the season that this is not a political gesture, but because they wish to help keep the conversation around racism, inequality and discrimination in football and wider society moving forward.

Cardiff City Football Club remains unwaveringly committed to combating all forms of racism, inequality and discrimination that sadly continue to plague our sport. We ask all supporters to respect the taking of the knee, or indeed the decision of our opponents not to take the knee should this be their choice.

If you experience any form of racial or discriminatory abuse at Cardiff City Stadium or on the road this season, please feel safe and supported in contacting the Club to report this. You can email [email protected] or text 07554 158 224 and a member of our support staff will get back to you.

We were not the only country involved in slavery !

The Vikings were doing far worse, years before this country got involved !

People can’t keep going back to the past !

Now and the future are more important

That’s Armistice day, Christmas and triangle corner flags ****ed then

Would feel really proud if we were the last team still to do this. If it was right last season, it is this season.

I'm more than happy for City to continue doing this as it keeps boiling the piss of all the "no politics in muh sports" crowd, even though the teams still doing it stress that it's NOT a political gesture.

And even then, as someone said if they abide by that logic than all their beloved Poppy-wankery would have to go, too.
