coprolite Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I was a bit lukewarm on the whole kneeling thing but it seems to be annoying some arseholes so i'm all for it now. It did seem a bit pointless doing it in silence, when the original intent was to refuse to stand for the Stars and Stripes. Enraging gammons is a noble purpose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should start playing the National Anthem before our games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 The problem with only footballers doing it means it's open to people questioning it, it would probably be more effective if every player in the premiere league chucked in £1 million. £500 Million would go a long way in the hands of the right charities and let's be honest most BPL players wouldn't miss it. What I don't understand is why no other sport do it? And the whole movement is saying that racism won't be tolerated and then Millwall roll over to their vile fan base they should have walked off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly we'd have to have God Save The Queen because we're a bunch of britnat tories (© tedious arseholes of the forum). If we could choose, that would be nice.

Going by my experiences of viewing international sport and hearing them projected through poor quality sound systems, the vast majority of anthems sound absolutely miserable. France and Italy being notable exceptions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I suggested playing the National Anthem because it would annoy folk who think taking the knee is a great idea/should be made mandatory and they would boo the NA, and it would annoy those who boo taking a knee as they wouldn't know whether to sing or boo. Playing FoS would mean the knee booers wouldn't have to make a decision, of course. Nor the knee takers, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Admittedly I can't remember many of them off the top of my head. Just know that's my overriding feeling when watching them. Is it Liechtenstein who's anthem is to the tune of GSTQ? Poor buggers anthem was roudly booed by the entirety of Hampden 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should professional sports people be forced to bear the financial brunt of something that is not of their making? Politicians are the ones who have the power and responsibility to make systematic changes in society, not footballers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor buggers anthem was roudly booed by the entirety of Hampden People just booed automatically for years at Scotland games when the players lined up. I doubt most could hear which anthem was being played. There were a few national teams must've wondered what they'd done that was so offensive their anthem got booed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
