Managerial Changes In League One
- Thread starter Scotimp
- Start date
I actually played bowls when I was in my 20s, as my works team were short and my boss ran the team. He was desperate for players one day, so I was roped in. I thoroughly enjoyed it and played a few more times in games that were both genders. That said, I found playing bowls more enjoyable than watching it.
I think you'll find that it was a lot more complex than it would appear on the surface. A lot has been written about this.
As pointed out above BLM (all upper case) is a political movement with some pretty radical aims which don't necessarily have much to do with racial equality. It's pretty heavy stuff. What the Millwall fans, and others were objecting to was being told to blindly accept a gesture in support of a political movement which, far from promoting racial equality is actually preaching division.
Sounds too sophisticated for Millwall fans but some of them tried to warn the club beforehand that it would not be popular.
Some black players and rugby internationals have sussed things and do not wish to identify with what BLM are about.
Players doing the knee like sheep is like being told to do something that you do not understand. Lazy thinking.
Millwall fans support stuff like kick racism out etc.
The recent spate of racism towards players on social media is abhorrent of course. I don't know if in anyway it is a reaction to the way things have been cranked up in the media generally on racial divisions during 2020. But the act of booing an imported gesture supporting a social movement that for example condoned the desecration of the Churchill's statue in Whitehall is not exactly disgraceful.

I think you may well find that some extremist Black organisations would disagree that a white live matters. That is why the slogan was changed and speaking of jumping to conclusions I am jumping to the conclusion you have far too high an opinion of yourself if you think you can judge me from a post on a football message board.
