I suspect a lot of racists will be happy with that aswell

A simple peaceful 5 second knee to show support and remind morons not to be racist and discriminatory really seemed to wind some people up
held up a mirror for them to see themselves in and that made them uncomfortable

The claim is that constant repetition diluted the impact of the thing.......odd that the same thing is not said about the National Anthem, Trooping the Colour , Remembrance Sunday etc etc

We need to stop it immediately.Got to keep it going...
43% of players in the Premier League are black.
4.2% of the UK population are black.
Black players are 10 times overrepresented in the PL.
Does the EPL have a racism problem?
Our goal is a colour blind society.
One group of people kneeling down in 'support' of another group is divisive and regressive.
The biggest obstacle to progress is white middle class SJWs seeing racism in everything and anyone. Time to grow up and move on.

Pretty indifferent about it and most pre-match nonsense, but it does seem to annoy the right people, so will give it a mild clap if it ever happens when I’m there.
I don’t think the number of black players in the PL is what the campaign is about tbh.43% of players in the Premier League are black.
4.2% of the UK population are black.
