We did. We wore our away kit at home and auction off the kits. The money went to a charity. At all stadiums there's advertising boards with 'Stand With Ukraine' on them.

Which is good. I agree. How long we going to be taking the knee though? Forever?

You don't have to take the knee if you don't want to. It's a choice.

I wouldn't, but then again that makes me racist right..

No but booing it makes you look like you're racists.
The taking of the knee is brilliant.To see black ,and white players showing unity by taking the knee together,is such a powerful gesture.I think it brought the England team a sense of togetherness in the euros.And a siege mentality against the booers,and the likes of Priti Patel and that.Older racists won't have their minds changed,but I am sure this has been an inspiration for kids.Its opened a conversation up to them,about treating your fellow man/woman with respect.Let the snowflakes boo if they want to,it's their right,but don't give in to them.Unity is strength!
“Daddy why is Harry Kane kneeling before kick off?”
“It’s a thing to show he believes we shouldn’t discriminate because of race”
“Got it thanks, I think we win today”
It helps over generations, not over weeks and months
If someone could tag me when we get onto Marxism that would be super. Thanks

Just found this.
One third of English Football League clubs have decided to stop taking the knee against racism and are aiming to find alternative methods to show their support.
Nine of the 24 teams in the Championship alone are no longer participating in the movement, traditionally performed just before kick-off to raise awareness and highlight the fight against racial abuse and discrimination.
I'm against the knee, because I think it's just basically a corporate PR exercise, but I hate the booing, so I end up clapping the f***ing knee to try and help drown out the idiots.
Add that to all the premier clubs,it's still most clubs

Yes, the outside world is bigger than football.
However, is it not too much to ask that we can switch off from the outside world for a couple of hours.
We already have "Kick it out" that does not impinge on the game. Do we need an American import protest in addition? As I said, I'm not taking the knee for the admittedly tragic death during arrest of a confirmed felon.
As commented, a one off protest at the time I get. But as said, it is now pointless, ineffective and quite frankly boring.

No, not our players. But other teams are.
As said, I'm not going to boo myself.
However, I think people and football in general need to move on from an ineffective, imported protest.

Still the majority then. One poster said the majority didn't take the knee. Cheers for proving him wrong.
