    Had to be, there would have been mass rioting.

    Biden must be relieved.

    This is good news but the scrutiny needs to remain in America. Too many ***** like him have killed innocent people due to their race. This must stop and I know it won’t stop all of a sudden but gradually change can happen with the scrutiny on police and racists in general

    It staggers me that the guy knew he was being filmed and carried on, content that he would not even be ticked off. Glad there has been some justice.

    Re: Derek Chauvin GUILTY

    Now that he has been found guilty - can our team stop taking the knee.

    As this was the catalyst it will be right and symbolic to end the knee taking on this verdict.
    Justice has been served, now let’s move on with the work that has to be done.

    The knee predates the murder. I'm sure it'll be commonplace until real change is seen.

    Yes! Racism is over. Praise (white) Jesus. All that talking was SO boring.

    One right decision doesn’t end injustice. It also doesn’t end on line hate. I’m sorry such empathy with the oppressed offends you.

    NO. Racism isn’t over - even in the UK. Tho the club should do more, especially after the poor form with the My City My Shirt campaign

    Maybe instead of kneeling, players in the championship and above could give 20% of their salary to causes that fight injustice? Any takers? Okay just keep kneeling then.

    Re: Derek Chauvin GUILTY

    A few thoughts on this..

    1) It is great news but if anyone followed the trial it was obvious he was guilty. It says something to the state of the US that we were all worried he would get off.

    2) This is the start not the end... the US has to address the racism in its institutions.. will they? not with help of the GOP and white evangelical Christians, who are absolutely fecking bonkers. So there is a long way to go.

    3) The 'left' doesn't help the cause with statements like 'defund the police'.. because that is actually NOT what it means... it means investing in better and more appropriate services and more community ownership, e.g. more mental health workers addressing issues rather than sending unqualified and unskilled police officers to deal with problems. They need to get their messaging right, because the right wing will pick up on anything and label it as communism, and Americans are hysterically paranoid about communism and socialism without a clue of what they are, the difference between the two and that they have hugely benefitted from elements of socialism.

    4) Thank God for mobile phones - there hasn't been an increase in racism in the US... but an increase of exposing it. This is exactly why Kaepernick took the knee - to expose this.

    5) Taking the knee (in the UK)... I think in the UK I fear it has become 'tokenism' and achieving nothing. However, it has exposed a complete and utter denial that racism exists in the UK, look at the Government report that said there wasn't institutionalised racism - then finding out experts were misinterpreted and that 10 downing street rewrote parts of the report. Again, the increase in hate crimes against black and asian people is indicative of the underlying racism in Britain, stoked by farage and his 'clan'.

    As an aside the Tories are in discussion with the Police to outlaw filming police. They Tories hid and change reports on race issues. The Tories are even hiding details of deaths of the windrush victims because they want to avoid scrutiny.

    We have a long way to go in the UK.

    I would , if there was a vote , ask for the knee gesture to remain , however there are plenty of people out there who want it to end and put up very fair and reasoned arguments for that .

    Sadly there is a big element of blatantly racist idiots in this country who want the knee gesture stopped because they don't like black people .

    Did you not read my last sentence!

    Some teams are doing it some have stopped, It’s becoming a bit disjointed and loosing its way.

    Just to clarify for you - My suggestion was that it started and it should end with this unfortunate tragedy now has the correct verdict.
    The fight to eradicate racism not only from the game but society as a whole should continue.

    How can it be losing its way if we are talking about it? Colin Kaepernick knelt during the national anthem to draw attention to racism.
    We are discussing racism, so it must be effective.
