Liam Rosenior in the Grauniad: NFL kneeling protest

[looney]

His twitter handle is [MENTION=1387]Rose[/MENTION]nior_liam23 so I'm sure you could give him the benefit of your expert opinion directly.

I'm not responsible for other peoples ignorance. As OP is acting as a third party maybe he should relay messages?,

 

[BBassic]

Fact free tripe, instead of shilling for the Grauniad why not look at the figures for police brutality?

Not saying the US doesn't have problems but this isn't one of them.

But its worse than that, taking a knee is equivelent of burning your own neighbourhood down in a riot. american Patriotism, that looks OTT from here has always been a method to bind people together REGARDLESS of race etc, by unpicking this they risk escalating racial conflict.

Wrong way to protest over the wrong issues by the wrong people to do it. crap journalism.

Who exactly are the "right" people to protest?

 

[Steve in Japan]

I understand this (Take a Knee) is a protest against police brutality. My concern is that the protest is non-specific. The players are not observing convention with regard to the Anthem, but that means they reject or object to....what? Their country? Trump?

I don't think anyone has said that, but intelligent ones are a collector's item.

Liverpool? I think maybe Steve Heighway and um, someone else - can't remember.

Hats off to Liam. A very fine article.

 

[Maybank Holiday]

Didn't Steve Coppell have a degree? And I think Graham LeSaux read the Guardian.

The way that you mimic word for word the kind of crap that idiots like PJW come out with, it wouldn't surprise me if you were actually some kind of copy & paste bot. But then again, that could be said about literally anyone from the alt-right.

Can't argue with that - take note messrs Rooney and stokes.

For which he was labelled as "gay". Hence the handbags v Batty (****) in that Champions League game.

London School of Economics indoor 5-a-side 1976?

The man is an absolute credit to the club and we're lucky to have him.
