The twitter reaction to Wakefield's players standing has been pretty grim.
Tweets like "all lives matter" followed by the same people saying the migrant boats should be sank.
The thick/racist people of the country essentially see it as "kneeling to blacks", white people handing over 'power' or some sort of Marxist movement (which most people barely understand) when it literally just totals to a symbolic gesture - same as the raised fist salute. Obviously people/players shouldn't feel pressured to do it, and some of the journalist reaction to Folau etc. has been stupid.
Quote: all lives matter "There is no place for politics in sport!'"
How is it only political? There is a ton of racism in sport and we need sportspeople - like Raheem Sterling, John Barnes, Jofra Archer, or whoever else wants to use their platform to teach the racists of their scummery.
