The Entire England Soccer Team Kneels Before Kickoff, But Look at What Team USA Did Instead.

What kind of post is this
It has a racial undertone

We should blame the mod that moved it to the front page.

I'm still trying to understand what went down.

Just a feedback, OP: Did you notice how your readers couldn't really connect with the article? One said "who cares" probably cause they have no idea what the whole thing is about, and the other was asking what the gesture means. That's exactly how 'disconnected' your write-up is. You were inclined to score points for your personal opinion so much so that you ended up forgetting the primary goal which is informing. You left out important explanations and started arguing right away. Yet even your argument is watery. I'm sure that only those who knew the 'story' before now would read your article and understand it at once.

_{When I say 'you', I mean whoever wrote this stuff for that unsecured blog.}

This perfectly explains what the op is trying to pass

Agbegbaorogboye:
To those asking the point of the article, bending the knee started in the US by the American football (a.k.a rugby) league players before it spilled over to England and became a thing in the epl.
It is ironic that the England national team are now bending the knee while the US where it originated from look on.
I personally can relate it to so many things like colonialism, religious indoctrination etc.
But the most obvious point is the "follow follow" or "oversabi" of the England national team.

Taking a kneel by the English team in this particular world cup is a subtle protest against the host County-Qatar for not allowing any form of LGBTQ+ concept. It is not about racism.

Fight against racism

Racism would stop the day Black Idiots stop stealing their country money abroad and start developing their people and country. No body respects idiots!
Do the right and you earn respects

SPAMBOX7:
Most of the posters on this forum just wanna score the front page space. And the useless mods are always there to do the needful cos if they not useless what type of mod would put up something like this to the front page without scrutiny.
Or is it that people are now paying for front page spaces?

Heh. Slow news day, I guess.

Ameoba300:
Biggest racists! Isn't Africa still suffering from their years of plundering?

And they haven't issue an official apology for all the evils they committed and for shielding corrupt funds from Africa.

Hypocrisy is the second name of England!

Who suffer from the racism? The idiots that steal money or their countrymen who gets victimized by the stealing?

The rich home and abroad still have shelter. The ordinary Nigerians home and abroad take all the sh*ts just because they come from a country where the heads don't use their heads.

OLAADEGBU:


It's just a way of showing England's harmless and toothless, way of scoring woke brownie points.

U ended up confusing that guy the more

akwesenana:
What did USA do?

They ate soup...Shebi you wan hear ni.
Mchewwww

This how funny the life is. Taking knee was started to support USA BLM movement, now USA has move on while England still put it for head

Mrchippychappy:
Una go read article from right wing posters, come here create thread dey form otolectual. Go and read up about why the footballers are taking a knee and how certain people in the United States punished Colin Kapernick for speaking up.

Tells us all we need to know about the particular MOD that's quick to push far-right wing rubbish to front page.

Abeg next please...

Octopusssy:

There are lots of worthy post on international politics only for MOD to push this to front-page.

Which part of my comment suggested I know what it means? Even if I did, I didn't create the blog, so I technically do not owe the audience any explanation.

ogascomax:
All their stupid hypocrisy. Blacks were so foolish to accept that stupid black lives matter thing. Do you know what Black lives matter truly means. Like you are going into extinction and that you are an endangered species. Look at the outrage that greeted Kenye West when he wore White lives matters. It's because the people behind the black lives matter understand that it was an insult against the black race and many foolishly accepted such a curse. What is england simpling doing is a protest against not accepting LGBT calling it fight for human life. What vexed me was even calling it 'One Love' armband.

Who said the foolish ones are not yet born?

MoneySEASON:
That kneeling shit is just a waste of time. It has no significant effect on tackling racism.

Bad things don't die easily. Infact racism will never end no matter how they tackle it.

That's why Wilfred Zaha stopped taking the knee in the premier league. While he was taking it, he was still facing racism and still saw people face it too, so he was like, 'what's the point'?

Although, Between USA and UK I don't know who are the most racist people.

Germany and Italy top them all when it comes to racism

bonnyhope:

Yeah, you're right. Germany, Hitler was a racist

FILEBE:
Can someone in plain English say what the kneeling means?

buy tv, you no gree

Are you a secondary schooler?

This response spells ignorance. You don't even understand what you're talking bout

The can go Bleep theirselves who care the are very racist sef

Nigerians think they can outsmart their way out of being black

There was a trade meeting recently between the USA and the UK. Leading the US delegation was the assistant US Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo and leading the UK delegate was Kemi Badenoch, the UK's Trade Minister. Nigerians representing on both sides. Nigerians don't have time for silly gimmicks like taking the knees. It is just an empty liberal gesture to make them look like they are doing something.

Nigerians get on with it and that is why if you see a successful black person in the UK or US odds are he / she is of Nigerian origin. Remember Nigerians are the most educated group in the US.

The gesture is just hindering the progress made. It has past its sell by date!

.

The English team chose to kneel down.

And any other nation can chose to do whatever they chose to.
Maybe to stand on their heads, butt, stomachs or hands.

The English Team has been the only team kneeling down so far in this competition, so why singling out the USA team?
The Iran team were all standing as the English team was on their kneels in the first game,
Why wasn't that in the news?
Hypocrisy at its best.

This is no news biko.
Next sensible thread please.........


No mind d poster.
Rubbish news.

the thing is that kneening down started in USA to protest the killing of blacks,black life matter but the American themselves have moved on why England still uphold it,this show clearly to us that all that was done by Biden and his group to make Trump look bad and lose election just the same thing apc did to Jonathan and we are suffering now,the world follow democrats and removed Trump but the world is suffering many things today because of Russian Ukraine war that will not happen under Trump leadership

There’s not that many Nigerians in those countries compared to the rest of the population. In usa especially you will still be seen as black.

It is not what people see you as but what you see yourself as!

Nigerians who are successful outside Nigeria are successful because they are Nigerians!

Being black is not an handicap. Just get on with it!
