@john_carins@BorisJohnson@England@FIFAcom They were booing people expressing solidarity with black people. Visit Millwall, Chelsea, Glasgow Rangers etc any weekend and you'll hear what racism really sounds like.
@john_carins@BorisJohnson@England@FIFAcom Again, ask the lads who booed England in Wembley last July were they booing Marxism. Ask the multi-millionaire players were they supporting a marxist cult.
@john_carins@BorisJohnson@England@FIFAcom The gesture of knee-taking is not exclusive to BLM. It is a symbol that black lives matter not a tribute to Black Lives Matter.
@john_carins@BorisJohnson@England@FIFAcom Is BLM was on the pitch marshalling the players for the knee-take, I could see your point. I'd guess that none of those players ever had contact with BLM and know as little about them as I do.
@john_carins@BorisJohnson@England@FIFAcom I don't know enough about BLM to form an opionion. What I do know is that they do not have a monopoly in anti-racism activity. I'm quite sure 99% of those that booed the English team had never heard of BLM and had no idea of their policies - just like me.
@john_carins@BorisJohnson@England@FIFAcom Football/Sport is full of political symbols and gestures. Anthems, flags, national logos, nationalistic jingoism, the poppy, armed services' bands, etc. Funny how anti-racism action is the only one some people object to.
@john_carins@BorisJohnson@England@FIFAcom So if fans are uncomfortable with symbols opposing racism, they are the fans that must be listened to. To hell with those fans that support or have no issues with the display. Should the fans who oppose the poppy display on shirts be listened to?
@eddiedorset@MiguelDelaney Ronaldo did nothing for 90 minutes, then against a weak, tired defense he scores. He'll meet the best, fastest defenders in the World in the Premiership. He'll be disaster this time round and will get Ole the sack by Christmas.
@SteveLawrence_@StevePeers@ddale8 The likes of @oflynnsocial have to keep spitting garbage about the EU. They see that Brexit is a disaster so they must deflect to justify their stance and no matter how false, they'll pump out anti-EU horseshit non-stop.
@GBNEWS Hey gbnews, @afneil you haven't covered this. No doubt you'll be highlighting how those European countries are faring against the UK on covid soon. You were all over it a few months ago. πππ
