Super Bowl ...Taking The Knee

[royfromaus]

Didn't see anyone taking the knee...is that it now, is it over?

No more black people being will be shot by police now Joe's in charge?

Taking the knee has surely had its day now, otherwise it will eventually become a meaningless action. I've never done it and cant see I ever will as not into forced political gestures

mozz: "The black community trying to gain equality are to blame for how others perceive any success they may have?" - of course not but creating BAME only lists and positions, aided and abetted by TROB only add fuel to the fire that they achieved their position to fill a quota not on ability. many have made it on ability why are they upsetting that apple cart now?

Mozz: "What do you suggest victims of racism do? Shut up and accept that these things happen? Bow locks, they need to make noise to draw attention to the sotuation, and if that upsets some people, or makes certain individuals shout at their tellies, tough. " - I agree but handicapping the race is counter productive.

[Khandro]

What about the people who have bad knees & couldn't do it even if they wanted to, surely this is discrimination.

So Tora, what's the alternative?

[ichkeria]

I guess they’d not be available to play if they were incapable of kneeling ...

The Fridge would have needed a JCB to get back up.

mozz: "So Tora, what's the alternative? " - root out and deal with obvious racism as we are doing and continue with the meritocracy.

[Mozz71]

I agree Tora, but I can't see any signs of it happening.

Then to cap it all, MAGA hat owning Tom Brady dares to win his 7th Super Bowl in Black History month. Should have been banned from playing when the anti-racist people demanded it.
