    So taking a knee before a football game is kicking racism out of football is it?

    It will never take racism out of football or take racism out of this country while ever there are people who turn their backs on the protest.

    It's all virtual signaling. Nothing is getting done!

    what are you doing?

    What are you doing to affect change?

    what are you doing instead of being a simple pillock and trotting our cliches you’ve heard other racists say?

    If you turned your back you might as well walk out and don’t come back. had enough of this now.

    you complain nothing gets done it because of exactly like people like you that we still have to talk about this.

    Here we go I'm a racist for having a view and not following the majority in virtual signaling!

    Virtue signalling.... if you're going to latch on to a buzz phrase at least get it right.

    Woman of colour found guilty numerous times of breaking ministerial code. A bully, and someone who is currently in charge of ensuring the Windrush scandal is managed properly. Spoiler alert, Windrush is a shambles and the Home Secretary is holding up the process. I know because I've seen the evidence first hand.

    She's a piece of work, and does all minority communities a disservice and undermines the office she holds daily. Her language is purposely vile and was done to hide the government's many failings and more bad news. Like her quarantine policy.

    You are signalling by turning your back though. If you don't want to signal anything you just carry on talking, eating your pie whatever.

    Taking the knee is showing support and solidarity for the No Room For Racism Campaign.

    And whilst black players are still being racially abused on social media I think this is necessary.

    Are you against the No Room For Racism Campaign?

    It's a constant reminder to the racists that we don't want them around so I like it, and the more that Millwall fans complain about it the better as far as I am concerned.
    To those who say we should be doing something more - fine, suggest it and I'm sure we will be all for it. In the meantime, keep doing it. Priti Patel is just a posh Katie Hopkins and I hate her just as much.

    I'm proud that our players, Head Coach & his staff are taking the knee. I'll applaud them for doing so when we return. I certainly will not act in a way that could possibly be associated with the scumbag fans of Millwall F.C.

    I think it's more that you state you will protest against a show of unity against racism, that you have posted before about Tommy Robinson being a good man with good points, that you have posted in support of Nigel Farage, that you have stated you are English not British and that you are so strongly in favour of Brexit that leads people to think you may just have a few racist views in that head of yours

    I just think that after so long we ( not just us obviously) should do something different, to reinforce it.
    Just to be clear here I’m not against what it stands for I just think after so long doing the same thing loses its impact.

    No I'm not against no room for racism complain or the kick it out campaign I'm totally against Black lives matter they are a political movement with terrible views. As I stated in my first post no politics in football!

    Player's are supporting black lives matter, I don't agree with their views and actions.
