Current Affairs The Landmarks of Slavery;

Dont know about Chelsea these days, but like every football club, there is a DNA in Millwall. And it isnt a pretty one.

Remember a few years back, when they had a semi final at Wembley and their fans started fighting between themselves? @Yid4life explained that every faux hard man from that part of London would turn up for a fight, but dont bother with normal games.

Well, the other night, their hard core, STH fans, showed the world their DNA.

And some Londoners dismiss areas of the UK as brexit racists.

Millwall is in Tower Hamlets, Tower Hamlets votes Labour or LibDems, Tower Hamlets voted to Remain by over 62%. Does this mean that racists are actually Remainers....,

Should have checked the demographics of Tower Hamlets before posting that

Also, the club itself isn’t located in Tower Hamlets. They play south of the river in Southwark.

Havnt a clue about the geography of London.

Well I can disassociate it from the meaning you and Millwall fans derive from it easy enough. Partly because I never made that link in the first place. When I see the knee, I think of Kaepernick, racial abuse suffered by players, awful monkey gestures and that type of thing.

Do you think if they did some other collective gesture, the Millwall fans wouldn't have booed it? What could they do that you would deem acceptable

Nor me tbh Roydo... I try to avoid the place. I was just throwing in numbers that on their own prove nothing one way or the other....

 

[peteblue]

A stain on football and always have been....

Well, the Millwall fans seem to have gotten their way. The ref and everyone for QPR took a knee, but not a single Millwall player.

Just as a random aside, the way the broadcast agreements work here in the US is truly bizarre. I’m able to watch Millwall/QPR on ESPN, on my TV, on a Tuesday afternoon, but the only way to watch Champions League is through a mobile app on my iPad. Beyond stupid.

So you don't care about the anti-racism message - you only care that it's the BLM message.

Says it all.

No, I just posses the ability to separate the message that “black lives matter” and players taking a knee to show support for that message from the organization of the same name. The bottom line is the players allowed a racist minority of their fans to intimidate them into no longer participating in that show of solidarity.

 

[Kenshin]

Maybe pointing out the obvious but a pre match gesture for the same message that isn't part of a political movement.

My gosh there is more than one way to support a message! Who'd have known not everyone has to take a knee.

God you're a tiresome bore. Making the players not partake in something out of fear of how their racist fans would act doesn't make them as noble as you think.

But, hey, as long as you and a few other fragile folks don't feel that you've been called a racist when you really definitely want things to change for the better for black people, that's okay.

The same people that just applauded an anti-racist message...

Ridiculous bias.

Not hard to understand is it? Really isn't.

In your ridiculous extremist eyes, they literally couldn't win then. They are racist no matter what.

The applaud an anti-racist message; they're still racists.

Joke.
