Unlike some people ( eg. Mr Fox ) who try to link the footballers taking the knee to some sort of Marxist anti democracy movement, I prefer to believe what the footballers tell us that it’s about supporting the anti racist movement in sport. Maybe I shouldn’t label Mr Fox in the way I have but his waffle about being a patriot is exposed as such when he makes such ridiculous claims about wanting the English team to lose because they support a just cause. He presents no evidence of his claims yet verbally attacks the players based on just that, he breaks Covid rules ( and openly boasts of such ) and again quotes being patriotic, shades of Hancock there, so I get a little miffed when he prattles on so in such a two faced fashion. Apologies for offending all racists on here I should know my place, thanks JI. BTW what’s your position on why so many International footballers are taking the knee in this current football tournament?
