Taking The Knee - For or Against?

Taking The Knee - For or Against?

While the politicians are wading in with their comments on the actions taken by some football players I just wondered what your feeling is on the matter?
Mine is and always will be to leave football alone, stop hijacking it for anything whatsoever and I am against it.
Forcing this down the throats of supporters was always going to get some form of negative reaction because “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.

I just want to see football and have a day out really :pull_hair:

Against it all the way, there's just no need now.

What do you mean now?
They shouldn't bring politics into football in any way not ever.
Taking the knee is cringeworthy.

I am against it because I just want football and nothing else.
Not only that but most of the players don't want to do it - they do it because if they don't they fear being labelled a name.
