The Scottish

[transam]

Football team will not be taking to the knee at any home games
in the euro finals


They will when they play at Wembley against England

 

[KenGMac]

in the case of the latter, possibly praying for "divine Intervention?"

Thank god I do not follow football in any form.

It was reported in The Scotsman newspaper today that they wouldn't be doing it. Later on the same paper reported that they would be doing it.
Let's see.

The only reason Scotland are taking the knee at Wembley is to appease England, as they had originally declared they were not going to.

 

[Munroast]

Disappointed Scotland have changed their mind, they normally do a 'Stand up against Racism", no probs with that, in fact I would applaud them, racism is a horrible thing and needs stamped out, but this BLM taking the knee, big boo from me, there is something very sinister about it.

I normally support England at football, but this year I might just be waving the saltire. England players are just too annoying, it is as if they are purposefully trying to wind everyone up.

I think it is more a case of everyone being dead scared to say they find it irrelevant.

A lot of people, myself included, disapprove of the convention whereby American cops are permitted to kill black people with impunity

And therefore have no objection to people protesting against the practice.

Other people do not disapprove, and are irritated that anyone should have the temerity to protest

Some of them have taken to booing at their national team.

Booing at the national team tends to annoy supporters of the national team.

Some people are irritated by the booers.

opinions have recently been expressed criticising the booers.

So are we to conclude that the Scottish team who will not be taking the knee don’t give a wat sit than ??

So, you think the US police will be affected by some people kneeling at, say, The Den?

Do you think the practice of 'taking the knee' in the UK should continue until the US puts its house in order - no matter how long that is?
If not when should it stop and what will be the reason for doing so?

 

[JohnD]

I

...have no objection to people protesting against the practice...

It appears that you do.
