You don’t understand the fight for racial equality? ??? I mean, taking the knee will obviously stop eventually, but stopping it at a time when football fans are continually hurling racist abuse at players over social media seems a bit strange to me. I also highly doubt those hurling racist abuse are going to really take time to reflect on what cretins they are :shrug:

To save 18 pages, 3 flounces and a ban, I think I can say people fall under 3 camps.

- Those who still think it's necessary
- Those who support it but think it's run its course
- Those who don't support it and are probably a bit racist

Put me down as the middle one on the basis it would have more impact happening 2/3 times over a season.

The players decided to start taking the knee.

It is up to the players to decide if / when they stop.

It would be better if they all stop together though

Dodgy American import, lost impact some time back, best consigned to history. Some proper action vs racial abuse is what is required.
