Tell you what mate.
You're trying to get me into a grammatical hair splitting saga because you don't have anything better.
I'm happy to let the lad answer for himself, why aren't you?
Grammatical hair splitting?you actually think that everyone is racist.How is that grammatical hair splitting?
Aye, but racism is logical so the joke’s on you.

Still after over a year of people booing an anti-racism campaign, I still can't wrap my head around why. Am I the dumb one here?
Adult arguing that they're not racist whilst booing and being against an anti-racism campaign? Absolutely beyond me.

People see “taking the knee” as being woke. It’s just booing the concept of being “woke”.
It’s the knuckle draggers in the North Stand who are to blame

According to who? Why were the Gillingham players kneeling then? Why did the England national team kneel during The Euros? Why did multiple England national team players, and manager make it clear that it was an anti-racism campaign?

The EFL, the body responsible for the Gillingham game.

This EFL?
"Taking the knee is an individual choice that many players wish to make as a way of peacefully demonstrating against racism and injustice."
Or have I (clearly according to you) missed the point? Where has the EFL said that taking the knee is not an anti-racism campaign?
Thought it was up to the players

Only with permission from the governing body.
Players can't simply decide to make protests or gestures and can be fined, etc, if they do so without permission.

It's become a campaign against all kinds of discrimination, injustice, etc.
It also includes homophobia, LGBT, womens rights, etc.
Once they realised BLM was too political and devisive they dropped thaf idea and became all inclusive.
Mark Bullingham, FA CEO said:
“We stand firmly against all forms of prejudice, so a key pillar of our strategy is to use our influence to deliver a game free from discrimination. We are striving to ensure that football at all levels is a safe environment for all, embracing diversity and inclusion, whilst challenging hateful conduct both on and off the pitch.
“We are very clear on what this symbolic gesture originally stood for 200 years ago and what it continues to stand for today, and that is a fight against injustice, inequality and discrimination. We will support any players who wish to take a stand against racism and discrimination by taking a knee. They have our unequivocal support.”

Is this the governing body that says players are allowed to peacefully demonstrate against RACISM and injustice?
So it's against racism(a form of discrimination).Thanks for that

That's it, just ignore the bits that don't suit your argument
“We stand firmly against all forms of prejudice."
