Of course its political .

If it wasn't political , poltical parities would not be talking about it , its the same as the NHS is used for political purposes and message's you can clearly see the dividing lines in American where the Democrats have close association and support to the man BLM groups organisation and funding and sadly this is where it has become blurred .

Racism is awful however some feel that taking the knee provides a platform for that message which it does , however some believe perhaps there are better ways for society and in particular perhaps football should walk the walk and not just send out messages ie ban countries and clubs for competing if racism is seen and not sling out pathetic fines and pretend to want to fight racism //

Where are the real actions and commitments when it comes to football representation in the UK and UEFA ,lets see English black managers , black UEFA delegations , black referees, black coaches , black boardroom member , UK black managers ,lets see black management development in the real organisational platforms of football , taking the knee had a message , not we need real action and stupid debate about a knee ????
