The Entire England Soccer Team Kneels Before Kickoff, But Look at What Team USA Did Instead
By David Rufful -November 26, 2022



"Woke" liberals on England's soccer team thought it was appropriate to kneel prior to their recent game against Team USA.

The disrespectful gesture was started by radical left-wing social activist Colin Kaepernick who refused to stand during the U.S. National Anthem.

Take a look:



Fortunately, all players on Team U.S.A. were standing before the game began.

England's manager Gareth Southgate is outspoken that the team has a strong desire to continue its “virtue signaling.”

Somehow this isn't intended to be a protest of the National Anthem.

No, this is England's harmless, and toothless, way of scoring woke brownie points, apparently.

Southgate openly defying FIFA and Qatar that mandates that players should not discuss social or political issues outside of soccer:

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.

.

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.........

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.

100%. I don't understand the article and I'm still wondering exactly what they are discussing in the post. This is one of the dangers of copying and pasting without any kind of clarification. This is also why Naptu2 will always be my favourite poster because he takes time to explain the posts, as well as give background information. He communicates.

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 racial people.

Both of them are hypocrites,those that take the knees and those that don't.
At least,the US team shows the world they don't give a hoot about the knee thing,while the English team keep taking the knees,even though within themselves in their heart,they don't care about blacks.
