    I mean, he can't play every game, Robins has to rest people. Even playing 30 mins less will have an impact on recovery times.

    Take the knee

    Except for the fact it's not even a point, because if you have an anti-racist movement that's attempting to address systemic and institutional racism, then people WILL (and have) find excuses to not get behind it because "they don't like the politics". It's easy to get behind anti-racist things...

    Is anyone else feeling the pressure?

    Newcastle upon Tyne here too mate. Had to watch most of the League One season on ifollow 😢 I don't drink often but if it's our commentary with Clive, I make sure I select an appropriately high-strength beer so I don't launch the iPad across the room.

    I mean, no one is stopping you from reading into stuff yourself, you don't have to read stuff on here (just re-read this; this isn't meaning to sound hostile / condescending, you seen like a nice person!) It's an uncomfortable thing for a lot of people to discuss and completely understand...

    Take the knee

    I understand that's what it is for you personally, but that's just an example of very direct anti-racist sentiment. I like to think the majority of people here aren't intentional racists. Addressing systemic inequalities requires an anti-racist movement that challenges these things; hence the...

    There are a lot of people in this thread who are questioning the politics of BLM (in all of it's incarnations), rather than questioning their own personal politics and how they might relate to racism. A lot of inner-turmoil going on and no one doubts a lot of you may be super nice people.

    Take the knee

    The term I used is generally currently accepted (in a broad sense, context is important here...). You don't need to feel embarrassed for calling me out etc, at least you're looking at the language people are using. What Greg Clarke said was different and regarded as a racist term (albeit maybe...

    How could an anti-racist movement, one that is attempting to address systemic and institutional racism (as well as the more obvious kinds) NOT be associated with politics?

    I took it as a compliment tbh 😉

    Would in general agree with the first part. There is clearly going to be a left/right political aspect to it because of the way political systems work (or don't work) for a lot of people of colour. Clearly there will be outliers, but the general point remains the same. I'd also love to see a...

    What is the "whole world of other stuff" that concerns you, out of interest? I think I can probably guess, but I would also like to know.

    Mate, come on. Imagine if someone thought of something like that, just imagine. Surely no one would oppose such serious activism... ...

    Nah not everyone, just fucking loads of them To be fair, I wrongly assumed it would be an anti-BLM thing, which it isn't. I certainly wouldn't disagree that racial tensions have been made worse and that's an extremely unfortunate side effect (one that you wouldn't have if racism wasn't a...

    Some people might be able to understand it. Not sure I'd feel the same in that situation 🙂

    Even if a you see the gesture as being a Black Power fist, does this concern you more than the reason the Black Power movement existed in the first instance?

    Shite that you are made to feel like that. I think there are people in the thread who do give a shit and want to be a part of changing things.
