I’m surprised only millwall fans have booed to be honest.
{Ed001's Note - why? Why should anyone but a clueless moronic racist boo it?}

Those that booed need to be re educated as there is no place in society for any kind of perceived discrimination.

I've read somewhere that someone said this taking knees should stop because not much effects.
With this booing incidents, it gives even more reason that this should continue for as long as possible.

I'm sure it was reported at Colchester's game as well.

Wow, we're in 2020 and there are still people talking openly like this. Shame. That's all.
{Ed001's Note - it is disturbing. Sadly there are closet racists out there who pretend not to be, usually though they accompany a racist statement with: "I'm not a racist" and add on "I have black and/or Asian friends" as well. I have noticed a few posts like it over the last few days, always aimed at the taking a knee and accusing it of things like being fascist. I mean ffs, there really are some deluded, small-minded bigoted ****s out there and it seems, if anything, to be getting worse, so all the more need for players and officials to take a knee and highlight it.}

Well Millwall your move, can't be difficult to identify which muppets think that's acceptable when the crowd numbers have been reduced, lifetime bans and referrals to the police minimum. You'd think they'd be running out of fans with the amount of banning orders they have to hand out to these backwards tools.

Have a look at the Twitter feed of Ashton Hewitt (rugby player) and the video he shared.
It is genuinely heartbreaking to think there are amoeba out their reproducing and putting stuff like that in children’s heads.

Whether you agree with the taking the knee or not, can't the idiots just shut it for the nine seconds they do it for?
{Ed001's Note - exactly Keith! That's the point. I have seen posters on other sites saying about how they won't be going back to watch the team while their players take the knee. Always addended with 'but I am not a racist', which means they quite clearly are, because you wouldn't feel the need to say it if you weren't.}

Liverpool fans did us proud last night. Massive applause for those taking the knee.
With regards to the morons at Millwall though, It shows that players taking the knee is indeed needed as racism is still sadly a thing in the game and society. The unsavoury incident will highlight the cause even more and have the opposite effect the morons want. Let’s hope they all get banned and they can go be racist on their couches at home.

I don’t know why the millwall fans booed I’ve seen posts and pages saying it wasn’t a racist dig etc!
My question is tho let’s say a player isn’t racist and doesn’t want to take the knee and does Notting will he be condemned and called a racist etc?

And what were you expecting with all this brexit thing, the lies and more populist rethoric going around?
Never more proud of being a Liverpool supporter: english excepcionalism and racism will be the end of Britain.

I don’t think pegleg meant he would boo himself I think he was saying their is a lot of racism in football that not more has been reported. Hopefully these people are identified as surety it should have been easy to spot them or maybe Millwall don’t care?

Thanks ED001. Your points hit the nail on by the head. There really is no excuse for booing taking place and just highlights the issues within our society even more. I couldn't agree more regarding your use of the term 'closet racists. ' That's how racism has moved on from traditional name calling (although sadly that still takes place too) through certain actions and idiotic comments.

I might be wrong, but I thought Pegleg was saying “I know there are lots of racists out there, so therefore I’m surprised only millwall fans have booed, and not more idiot fans at other clubs. “ Not “I think it’s right to boo, so therefore I’m surprised only millwall fans have booed. â€
I might be wrong, and putting words into Pegleg’s mouth, but maybe you’re all making the same point: that there are too many people out there who are inclined to boo, and that’s what makes the taking of the knee so important.

I read Peglegs comment as he/ she is surprised that it has only come to light at a Millwall game when there is so much racism still prevalent among other teams’ supporters as well, and he/ she is amazed it hasn't happened much in other games before now.
Might be wrong but that was my initial reading of the post.
Maybe Pegleg should clarify.

If I was a Millwall player I think it would impact my mindset. How are you supposed to work your arse off and care about the club when a portion of the fan base are clearly racist.

Jesus Ed01! how can some compare taking a knee as fascist that's amazing!, its actually not the out there racists that the problem you know what camp they stand in and how to deal and dismiss them its the middle ground people who just can't get it into there head that there is a problem and think everything is fine. like you said the first line in there statement is oh I'm not racist. you wouldn't have to say that if the next thing coming out of your mouth wasn't racist babble.
{Ed001's Note - exactly mate.}

Ed agree, but don’t you think the FA and the clubs could be doing more to combat racism, to me taking a knee isn’t anywhere near enough action, and I feel (as evidenced at the weekend) that it’s impact is minimal. Any thoughts or insights as to what could be done or is being done to improve this?
{Ed001's Note - it may be having a minimal impact to you, but it is at least making people talk about the subject, rather than it being brushed under the carpet as always happened in the past. The next step is to better educate people, as racism stems from ignorance, how we go about doing that I don't know, but discussing the subject openly might finally bring forth some longlasting solutions.}

Clarifying my comment:
In what way is it racist to boo taking a knee? I don’t agree with politics in football what ever it is. I personally don’t agree with it or support it. Racism should have zero tolerance in life and in football but taking a knee before every match for a radical movement is a step too far IMO.
If you deem me racist for my views so be it but you couldn’t be further from the truth. I also don’t agree with the rainbow laces either, if a player comes out as gay they’d get my full support but until then I can’t get behind it, sorry.
On the racist thing though, doesn’t matter what religion or colour you are everyone has some sort of racist view. It’s just society suggest you can only be racist if you’re white and if you dare to speak out people label you racist to shut you down.
{Ed033's Note - Thanks for clarifying.

ED01, those saying they won't go back to the ground if players keep taking a knee in protest against racial injustice and unfairness in the justice system, have revealed themselves for who they really are.
Personally, I am not bothered with the whole "I'm not a racist" schtick either as that is not the point. You being a racist or not, is your problem and yours alone. Leave me out of it.
You are like that NFL fan the players are protesting racial injustice during the playing of the national anthem (fake patriotism, really) and see it as them ruining your day out. Yet you claim that you care about these disenfranchised people. You are not a racist cos you said so. You are anti-racist cos of your deeds and your deeds, alone. The End.
And one more thing. Being non-racist does not mean you are anti-racist. It simply means racism is not a deal breaker for you and you would tolerate it if it fit your own agenda and personal interest. People would be very wise to know the difference.
{Ed001's Note - agreed.}
