I do not agree that all this calling players bad names exists,

What?

Have you not seen or heard about the abuse sportsmen and women have received on social media? In the six months from September to April last, Twitter removed over 7,000 abusive tweets. Have you not seen the ads on tv?

Not just footballers like Sterling, Rashford and Deeney either. Even Lewis Hamilton has been a victim.

Just because you live in a sleepy town or village and don’t hear it doesn’t mean to say it doesn’t exist.

The England squad as a group has CHOSEN to continue to take the knee to let the world know they support equality. As did the Germans last week.

As the above posts outline, choice should be respected. People like Fox do not respect this and are so childish in their attitudes that they want England to lose should they continue to take the knee. That is what I-A was parodying in his rather tongue in cheek post.

I found it amusing that before Saturday’s game kicked off the Ukrainians stood around bemused as the England team knelt. One obviously thought he should be doing the same and went down just as Kane & Co were getting up!
