Ex Players

[From Despair To Where?]

The ironic thing is that it's only the gimps calling for the players to stop taking the knee that's keeping the fact that some players are still taking the knee in the news.

Suggested reading for the thick Wokies,

John Barnes's "The Uncomfortable Truth About Racism"

"Taking the knee won't change anything". "Taking the knee doesn't mean anything to me". "I wouldn't take the knee". "Players should stop taking the knee".

[Snowflake Royal]

Still trying to insist you can tell racial minorities how they're allowed to behave.

Will get that book.

I liked the irony though of England players taking the knee against Senegal with all the Senegal players just wanting to get on with game.

Taking the knee is yesterday's news really. It's only the racist thickos who keep going on about it. Almost like they're desperate for something to be offended by. And they call everyone else snowfkakes.

[AthleticoSpizz]

A bit like the dropping of the Ts from the Queens BBC English, and as worthy as the ‘take the knee’ thing was/still is, I always thought it should be referred to as ‘taking to the knee’…hey, but that’s just me.

Absolutely on the nail, and don't even mention the Senegalese supporters whitening up.

Aren't statistics wonderful. Take the show with the biggest audience on one channel and compare it with the show with the smallest audience on another.

Reading are better supported than Inter milan. In March 2013, 18,241 came to watch an Intertoto cup match v Spurs at the San Siro, but that same month Reading had a crowd of 24,102 at home vs Villa.

Things change, they always do, and they change by people doing things. You can't always tell what will have an impact and what won't. But if you decide to do nothing, nothing will ever change in your favour.

Totally disagree. Just because their opinion may vary from yours, it doesn’t qualify them for abuse. I don’t have any race issues, but I am against the taking of the knee, and have been since the start, so that makes me a gimp? Do me a favour!

In my opinion most of these players taking the knee are just following a poncey fashion, and my belief is that they will regret it when they get older and wish that they had been a bit stronger, and not followed like a sheep.

Why are you against players making a gesture in favour of racial equality, and why do you think you get a say in what they should do?

You're completely missing my point. Disagree all you like but at least try to demonstrate that you understood the point I was actually making.

It's not even news anymore except when people keep whinging about players taking the knee. You want it to go away? Stop drawing attention to it. So yeah, gimps like KKKarbuncle getting uppity about it is all the justification needed to keep doing it.

Personally I think it lost its impact a fair while ago but that doesn't negate the very valid reasons the players gave for doing it or their reasons for still doing it. I did quite like it when Derby played at Millwall and Colin Kazim-Richards did a Black Power salute instead of taking the knee. Proud, defiant and a big fcuk you to the Millwall fans booing him. That still has resonance and is still as relevant 50+ years after Tommie Smith and John Carlos did it.

You only have to see the abuse that some players got after the European Championship final last year to realise the message still isn't getting through to some people and the players are very much on the front line of it and will feel strongly about it.

If I went to work and still saw colleagues being racially abused on a daily basis, I'd still want to take a stand. I sincerely doubt any of them will ever regret doing it and they have absolutely no reason to.

What would you suggest as an appropriate gesture to highlight the ongoing issue?

Something tells me that "Oldebiscuit" didn't think there was an issue in the first place.

Yes, 100% misguided Wokie sheeple.

But it is not just a one-off.

On Saturday at the GB News Christmas party, Angelos Frangopoulos told the assembled crowd that 2022 proved the year Sky News lost its crown as the No. 1 most-watched commercial news channel. 2023 will no doubt shape up to be another good year for the channel, though the illegal immigration crisis is already proving fantastic for views.

Last night Nigel Farage hit a whopping 187,500 viewers 15 minutes into his show, with an average of 148,400. Not far off the 208,000 record Farage set with his Trump interview. Thrashing the BBC’s 78,000, Sky’s 26,000 and TalkTV’s 1,800.

It’s not just Farage pulling in big audiences, however. Across prime time, GB News averaged 96,600 viewers, compared with 89,000 for the BBC, 45,500 for Sky, and 19,600 for TalkTV. Here’s to another stonking year for GBN in 2023…

I am 100% in favour of taking the knee, as long as the players want to. I can understand people finding the gesture futile, but actually being upset by it is, well, “odd”.

I support anyone anywhere making a personal statement about something important to them that does nothing to disrupt or harm others. Always.

The idiots talking about sheeple when they're angry and upset about something that has no effect on them because they've been told to by the manipulating unreliable charlatans they lap up the lies from with no capacity for critical thinking themselves amuses me.
