' THE WHOLE CARDIFF TEAM BOOED '

Sat Feb 12, 2022 3:07 pm

The Cardiff team were heavily booed for taking the knee by Millwall Fans.

Millwall players and Peterborough players both refused to do the knee this week.


Cardiff should have followed suits a year ago, its time to move on.

Politics and sport shouldn't be mixed,it has a negative effect.

I think taking the knee has become meaningless because it happens every game, to highlight the cause taking the knee would have more impact in a chosen month, as Movember does to highlight men’s health. If men grew moustaches all year round the impact has gone. Racism needs to sorted but taking the knee at every game doesn’t seem to be working.

It’s quite sad that social politics gets dragged into sports. There are other ways to combat racism. Whilst people may have different opinions on taking the knee, from my perspective it’s not inclusive or represents diversity of all races. At present it represents one race, and a political struggle. But what about Asian players , or players from different nationalities or orientation .

If our team want to kneel that's up to them.It's called living in the free world.
Millwall fans had the right to boo.Our players have the right to kneel.
There's many people leaving under dictatorships who would love the choice.

But they don't represent the fans do they?

This action has caused so much divide it should stop now. I don't hear any applause when they do it so why continue?

Brought up today, no surprise.

Also no surprise that the last 20/25 matches when taking the knee has been applauded wasn't Brought up!

I’m afraid you’re wrong there. There is quite a bit of applause unfortunately.

Certainly hasn't been applauded by me and most of the people who stand where i do. Unfortunately anyone showing their displeasure by booing is treated as a racist - Danny Murphy said they should be banned from attending-so therefore the silent majority are forced to be remain so.

Very little from when I go to the games. Not even worth a mention.

dont get the booing
if you don’t agree with it just stay silent..
a lot of people by me applaud, some dont, but no booing.. and that’s the way it should be.

Sadly, I would go with the 'quite a bit' assessment; certainly at home

This whole farce has now degenerated into pythonesque proportions. The FIFA world cup is being hosted by a nation who has systematically presided over the use of slave labour (Asian) for years. Where are the protests? Where are the whining political junkies who have coincidentally have created careers for themselves in this Faustian bollocks ...er nowhere to be seen. Most of their so called leaders are too stupid to respond or too busy making money.

Thankfully the chant died out quite quickly but I do wonder about the overlap between those not wanting politics in sports and those singing that chant about Drakeford’s son.

So we get booed at one, overtly racist supported club, and that makes it a wrong decision ?

On Wednesday Peterborough stood in respect, same sentiment different gesture.

At virtually every other ground the VAST majority applaud.

Anyone disagreeing is in the tiny minority, FACT.

Unfortunately racism is alive and kicking and a joint act of solidarity against it is not something that should be booed.

Clubs like Millwall should be ashamed, not us.

People boo the taking of the knew because its association with the Marxist organisation BLM. An organisation that is on the same level of racism than the National Front.

Exactly right
All people need to do is a simple google search of the BLM organisation. Whilst they do this they should also search for where the millions of pounds in donations have gone. I dont boo, i just cringe in truth , as none of the players know the true meaning of what they are kneeling for

Get your facts right before you argue on this.

You are correct that initially taking the knee was a political gesture, I wouldn’t condone that.

But the Premier and Football League have made it clear that the gesture is not connected to BLM and that it is a simple gesture against racism.

Don’t try and dress it up any way. Millwall would boo any gesture against racism and I’m proud that the vast majority of my club’s supporters applaud that gesture.

I hate racists and I hate apologists for racism. How else do you suggest we make a stand ?

Time for people to take a look at themselves. Too many “I’m not a racist but ……….” people about. It’s not right so call it out.

The PL and Football League support anything that makes them money. If you believe they have a moral intent, good luck..
They blindly supported blm without due diligence, and showed what they are... brainless and greedy.

Absolute and total b***ocks that.

It was only after they look into the booing did they come out with such a comment. All they have done is try to dress it up instead of admitting they got it wrong.

I suggest making a stand by just not being racist like the vast majority of people in society do
Its worked extremely well for me and many others
Why the need for political gesturing? I think it is you that may be hiding something. Read - White Guilt: How Blacks and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era by Shelby Steele. Try to be less angry when virtue signalling, as people will pick you apart with ease

I am so glad we make this simple but deeply profound gesture. It costs us nothing and it couldn’t be more needed at a time of worsening racial abuse. Listen to the majority of black and minority ethnic players and fans and they will tell you. Also, look at those who want it stopped…a very clear picture emerges. I know who I would rather stand, or kneel, alongside.

Let me place a scenario on you.

I represent a big national wanting to be international company and have a large advertising budget. Like all big companies we take DEI (Diversity, Equality & Inclusion) seriously as this represents us and is core to the brand. Millwall's and Cardiff commercial teams set up meetings. Who do you think they will go with ?

We live in the present, being seen to say the "right on" thing is far more important than actions or deeds. Arguing the merits of "taking the knee" is pointless. The Premier league & EFL suits said it would be the right thing to do for the brand and they all followed instructions.

Interestingly FIFA will not allow political gesturing in the World cup

Of course taking the knee is virtue signalling but so is the outrage over Zouma's cat.

Millwall are Millwall, not being on the same side as them is generally a good thing.
