You didn’t answer my question last night you just ran away and accused another random person of being a racist from your house in America.
Whats wrong with our own anti racist campaigns? Kick it out? Show racism the red card? Stand up to racism? All worthy campaigns with 100% support.
Nobody ever booed them. Nobody ever rejected them, nobody ever rejected the message.
And now you want to lecture that everyone is suddenly racist? Lol so why were there mo boos on literally any other anti racist campaign?
Connor Goldson called it a pointless gesture a few months ago, nobody called him a racist, in fact the whole of Scottish football agreed and ditched the knee in favour of standing, what changed?
Just quickly; the players have been clear to the point of being completely transparent that this is an anti racism gesture and not a BLM reference.
Repeatedly.
People who continue to boo saying 'I don't support BLM so that's why I'm booing' fall into three camps at this point.
1 - Genuinely stupid. Like, to the extent of needing help getting dressed in the morning.
2 - Wilfully obtuse, refusing to back down when they have been shown to be misguided.
3 - A bit racist.
Hate the movement all you want. Heck, hate our players, who gave everything for
you last year to deliver 55 and stop the 9.3/4, for making a short protest to highlight inequality.
But can't people behave like reasonable, empathetic human beings for literally five seconds?
I'm not a big fan of religion, but when driving to work in the morning and listening to Radio 2 I don't start booing in my car when the 'Pause For Thought' segment comes on. I understand it isn't for me, but it does me no harm in any way shape or form.
And regardless of what the players thought a few months ago, they clearly now feel it is worthwhile to do so again (if I had to guess, probably the outpouring of rage from middle-aged white guys telling black people what is acceptable as a protest against racism?).
As supporters, maybe we should try supporting them?
A novel concept for some folk on here, certainly.
