Observer II Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 As the England football team insist on the freedom of expression, by taking the knee prior to a match; aren't the fans entitled to the same freedom of expression by booing the gesture ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 can't argue there asp. as a gesture it is optional to knee, but peer pressure and fear of being castigated in the press forces compliance by all usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stallard12 Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 The soccer authorities going with the kneeling campaign just illustrates how liberal and therefore dumb they are. This ‘rascist’ thing is a small cadre of idiots cyber screaming and swearing, I put rascist in quotes, because it’s meaning has now become lost. They are not influenced by campaigns and PSA’s, the only thing that can stop it is to shut down the social media outlets, which would be good all round. However, the stupid soccer authorities launch a campaign that insults 99% of the population by suggesting that we are all rascists. Kinda like putting down speed bumps to catch a handful of speeders but penalizing a 100% of the population. They mistakenly offer up BLM, a domestic terror organization as their mentor and use the actions of the most disliked person in the US, Kappernick as the point of their campaign ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer II Posted June 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Perhaps if England concentrated more on Football rather than virtue signalling; they may have performed better against Scotland ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Perhaps if Mr Southgate had picked players who are fit rather than his favourites they may have done better last night. Kane was obviously not fit and hardly touched the ball, Sterling has been out of form for ages now. The fact that goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was England's best performer speaks volumes.

Davy51 Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Too many players in a highly paid comfort zone. Effort no longer seems to be a priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
