I think that graphic makes the point as well as anything I've seen.
I think you're missing my point, I'm not saying that black lives or any other colour don't matter. I'm saying it's wrong to say a particular colour matters above any other, I'm also saying that what went on 60+ years ago was not down to any football fan of today or player.
Understand, but clearly there are still footballers and football fans who think it's fair game to abuse players on the basis of their ethnicity
Take you pick. https://www.google.com/search?q=bla...hrome.0.0l5.9327j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8Black Lives Matter has nothing to do with any of that (that is the purview of the highly effective Kick it Out campaign)
Black Lives Matter is specifically about the amount of people of colour killed or physically abused by the police and related authorities. It is a single issue campaign.
Well you could ask Raheem Sterling? Or Marcus Rashford? Or Adie Akenfenwa?
.
Or they could look at what happened to the likes of Cyrille Regis, Viv Anderson, John Barnes or even at our level CES Pod. Football has now done a massive amount to tackle racism, there are far bigger problems with diving and cheating in the game which they could address themselves.
I have seen racism first hand at Lincoln City on the terraces myself in the past and I'm sure if it was repeated the guilty person would be ejected.
I'm not saying BLM is wrong just that it singles out one colour and certain factions are using it to dredge up the past, times have changed, so has a lot of society.
BLM has nothing to do with terrace racism...
