You won't be missed.

You expect players who want to kneel to not kneel because it doesn't match with your own personal political beliefs but similarly expect those who choose to not kneel to be above question. You are a complete hypocrite.

Why do so many people miss the point that "taking a knee" is not the same as kneeling before someone?

I can only assume that it is deliberate.

Fact checking is a 'thorn in the side'? Ok.

Stop the world. I want to get off.

Who are you to say who will and won't be missed?

Every fan who fails to turn up for a game will be missed, or fails to put money into the club is missed.

The club should have stayed out of identity politics. What next? A little bagde to be worn on the sleeve to say they voted remain, or voted Labour?

So should the various countries sports bodies have "stayed out" of politics and let South Africa carry on with their racist policies?
Ask Billy Boston what he thought of what happened to him on the 1954 tour that was returning and playing an exhibition game in South Africa.

Should the England football team Sieg Heiled before a game with Germany in the 1930s?

Did the teams playing sport against South Africa do a certain gesture to support the Apartheid movement or just play sport, or is that supporting it?

Of course it is. They don't like it because it's not about them, or people like them. That's not an acceptable problem to have with it though so they look for other issues.

I think people would be the same if there was a group promoting white power and pressuring sports team to support them or face their wrath.

Who has pressured anyone into anything aside from possibly the media?

*waves*

Offiah, and 3 young black players "this isn't about politics, this is about what we personally have endured"

Person on the Internet "well I obviously know better than the people living it, sports and politics shouldn't mix!"

Well the cricket teams that played against them did it for financial gain at the cost of their actual International career so maybe they stood there and counted their cash?

Sky Sports seem to be pushing the agenda heavily so I'd hazard a guess at them.

The whole identity politics quagmire is one I don't fancy getting in to, because no matter what you say to challenge a certain view or point, there is a term used against you which shuts down the argument. From my view if some reasonable person starts asking questions with a genuine curiosity because they're labelled a gammon, or a Karen, or a moron.

Its such a divisive and sensitive issue that separates people and sets them to argue, and this is why politics and sport shouldn't mix.
