Still booing the taking the knee

[TeessideCleveland]

I'll be sounding like a broken record , but feel it still needs calling out
I just clap louder - when I wouldn't even bother if booing didn't occur
Only blemish for me on a great day footballwise

 

[clay]

If anything, I think the boos are getting louder

 

[Stocko]

It does need calling out
i think we have already established that nobody on this site boos
so really, this is the wrong place to “call it out”

I was in the South Stand it was loud in there. Mostly sounded like it was coming from the top of the South East corner.

 

[Air Resistance]

I though it was quieter this week - still shameful and an embarrassment

Agreed, barely noticeable in the SW corner.

 

[johnsmithsno2]

Let's all make sure we clap, I did.

 

[Frozen Horse]

I thought it was quieter today.

Those doing it, for whatever reason, will get the message that many will consider them racist for doing it.

If they're ok with that, and recognize that about themselves, they'll keep doing it.

If they have a message other than "I oppose anti-racism", they'll find a better way of getting their message across.

The ball is in their court.

Was horribly loud today. Absolute divvies doing it.

 

[gregorgregorovich]

The lad next to me started doing it, so I asked him , Why? He shrugged his shoulders and stopped.

 

[Kenna]

Think people are just sick of it to be honest.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

It needs to be applauded down. Fair play to those that did clap.

Sorry Kenna but that isn't an excuse whatsoever. Its a 5 second gesture.

So what , how long does it go on for . I get it but jeez it's getting tedious

Racism is also a bit “tedious” and has been going on for a fair old while.

 

[BoroPhil]

how can you be sick of being anti-racist

 

[BoroPhil]

The answer for me is for us to start doing it again.
Somehow we need to send a message to the racists booing it that is unacceptable and the club has full support to the message behind taking the knee.

It is tedious isn't it?
Decent white folk being subjected to this ridiculous notion that black people are our equals, and have the temerity to take some direct action to prove it!
These people should know their place, we very kindly have let them play for our football teams and do all the jobs that have kept this country running for the last 70 odd years, but they've started getting all uppity and entitled. A 3 second gesture, that causes great inconvenience for the pifflingly trivial matter of "racial equality".
I'm being sarcastic in case anyones not sure by the way.

There's a big knuckle-dragging element in our support, always was, and probably always will be. That they are played as Culture War shills by the right-wing media is to be expected. Sad, but true.
