I agree with you it's unlikely to happen now people have dug in, but it's a more sensible way forward than what both sides are doing right now.
I don't buy that most are yobs based on what I've read and the chats I've had (but again, undoubtedly a portion will be), and you don't need to have an intimate knowledge of Marx to understand 'defund the Police, end capitalism' is totally batshit and uberly political in this country (defund the Police for a start being totally inapplicable anyway) and come to the conclusion that those being quoted in the press, pushing this agenda, couldn't give a flying about equality so don't deserve support.
In the way KIO would never hit those levers, even if players were kneeling.
Fans will dig in more owing to the criticism and because players/media have now rewritten the history to cover their own fuck up here. Plenty of players would've wanted this for the right reasons I get that and would otherwise support, but the press, others, it's the latest bandwagon jump to be trendy and appeal and it's why they so massively fucked it up by not doing the homework.
I do agree with you on plenty in the post though, and I worry where this is heading now because sides have been drawn when they really didn't need to be.
