    See the racists were having trouble with the quote function again.

    I’m more convinced than ever they’ve all had a chat and it’s a secret code.

    Im convinced that the current racist is actually Selby red. One account was dormant for about 6 months until the other was banned.

    The act of kneeling was a show of rebellion and strength of character by Kepernick, not a show of submission. But you really have no clue or interest in that do you?

    So in your opinion Colin Kaepernick was demonstrating his submission when he knelt?


    By the way an opinion doesn't work when discussing facts. I can't say my opinion is that 12 is a lower number than 4

    If they brought in singing the national anthem before games would you join in?

    Could you explain what your thought process would be if you were to do it? How would it feel submissive?

    My thought process would be looking round at the rest of my team mates, we re stronger together, I'm showing my support of my bame teammates, we re showing the wider audience that Barnsley isnt racist .

    Oh, how learned you must be! But just a moment you are citing an American football quarterback who knelt during his national anthem to protest at police brutality and racial inequality in the United States.

    Exactly, that's where it stemmed from.

    The same debate exists across most sports. I think only F1 has gotten close to something that might work, although it’s still been divisive.

    The drivers who don’t kneel, still stand at the front with Lewis and wear stop racism t-shirts etc.

    Well l respect you view. But mine is that we 'stand' for our beliefs in our country. And wonder why we are expected to 'kneel' on this sole issue. And wonder how many kneel against their better judgement.

    OK. So its the specific gesture you're objecting to as opposed to the sentiment behind it?
