« on: Oct 09, 2020, 05:46:58 PM »

but the surprising fact is

Don't the old Eastern EU countries still do the monkey jibes at football matches?

Perhaps the Checz players had more self-respect than to kow-tow to a movement which is opposed to society as we know it.

Don't see the problem. They don't have to kow-tow to other country's daftness just to show some unfelt solidarity.

Diasi's right. Czech fans shout racist abuse at their own black players. I think that is worse than taking the knee, even though I don't support that.
Just because you’re offended doesn’t mean you’re right.

Taking the knee is becoming an obsession for some...
 It seems that we , as a country, are being forced to do everything that the black race wants of us.. We have people in high places ' taking the knee' for fear of being rascist if they don't..


I watched Britains Got Talent a couple of weeks back and the dance routine was carried out by a popular dance group called Diversity.. They are mainly (if not all) a black group.. The dance consisted of a black man being knelt on by a police officer... All too much for  Saturday night light entertainment.. Made me switch off.. Give it a rest..

I won't be kneeling for anyone.. I have sciatica.. so I'm exempt..
I wonder if my doctor will have to provide proof of this.. !

I'm not racist.. I'm just fed up with all those people out there who think I am.
