Wow that was some powerful stuff. Shows how far we've come but how far we have to go.

Offiah pre match interview on the racism he faced when he was playing and how despite it being better today there's still much to do.

Sorry but categorically against this ludicrous notion of taking the knee.
All for ending racism (towards all races) but disrespecting the flag or nation is not the answer and shameful.

Well from the description I assumed the anthem was played.
If not then I got the wrong end of the stick.
Still again the notion as it was popularised by Colin Kaepernick who baited the police in an unacceptable way.
Not really the place for this so that's it.

I took a knee to tie my shoelaces earlier, I’d be fine doing it again to show solidarity with my black colleagues personally.
It’s amazing how many gullible idiots are repeating the nonsense various racists are saying to undermine the whole thing.

After Reading the Match Reports on Various UK Newspapers online They all lead with About the Moron From Minto (Not the exact words) And Then Saints Decent performance, The saying all Publicity is Good Publicity isn't quite right in this case.

I think it's good you have an opinion MR and it's not because I disagree with you but you post and then say it's not the time or place ... Mmmm?
I will say Elstone looked in real difficulty getting up afterwards.

I don't get this. 'Taking the knee' is disrespectful? So when Liz is about to knight me, my kneeling is disrespecting her? I don't think so.

Martin Offiah is a bit too careful but balanced the thing a little.
the BLM and NHS banners were a very good move and Sky are trying very hard to be on the right side of all this.
He was right we should be celebrating RL's efforts on this front and those comments in the crowd don't help.
The wife tells anyone she hears being racist to go to football where they'll feel much more at home.
