How disappointing to see players doing this prior to yesterday's game. I would have liked to have thought RL players were above this type of sheepish behaviour, most Fax players were I know. How grown men can continue with this is beyond me. Get on with the rugby. icon_frustrated.gif

Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I fail to see what the fuss is about. Booing them like some English soccer fans is ridiculous.

If players want to do it that's their choice.

Absolutely it's their choice but do it in the dressing room instead of foisting it off on people who have paid their brass to watch a rugby/football/cricket match. icon_confused.gif

Why don’t you have a conversation with Kevin Larroyer, Gadwin and JWH and understand why they believe there is a need to do this. Maybe talk to Rob Worrincy as well! The fact that there are people who have an issue with it would suggest they need to continue to do this

You need to chill out. Why so angry?

there is i think 30 seconds before each match for players to show what they think about racism for me how they choose to spend that time is up to them

Just to clarify: If your frustration is to do with the delaying of the game, and sheepish behaviour by the players, would you be booing and shouting "get on with the game" if you went to a game on Remembrance Day and there was a minute's silence beforehand that was observed by all the players?

If the answer to that is no and it's not an across-the-board disliking for symbolic gestures before a sporting event, then what is it about players protesting for 13 seconds against racial injustice that upsets you so much?

Why so bothered about a 13 second protest against racism?

Doing the black power salute is nothing to do with racism, it's political and in this context supportive of a terrorist group.

Absolute tosh. If you want to apply context, then players making a stand against racism has nothing to do with political or terrorist group. Some of those players have suffered from racial prejudice, one being very recent from a supposed friend and team mate.

Absolute codswallop. Racism works both ways and this taking the knee rubbish has caused more division than owt I can recall. Once again, I go to sporting events to watch sport, not be subjected other people's beliefs.

Like I said in answer to your original post. Go speak to those players and get their take on it. I've witnessed many racial comments and chants at games over the years, but none aimed at white players....strange that!! Your attitude to this is more reason for the players to keep doing this!

As has already been said to you...RL players tend to be quite accessible, so after the next game why not go up to the black players in your team and ask them if you've got it right and if in fact the gesture they are making is in support of a terrorist group?

Why just the black players? icon_confused.gif:
