3Ts BLM will fizzle out eventually , if those who feel ‘taking the knee’ helps anything at all, let them do it, it’s a stupid saying anyway

[ToraToraTora]

I'm just disappointed that this level of bullying is being allowed. Even the umpires are not immune.

[Bobbisox1]

Like sheep those that are doing this

[anneasquith]

Why would it bother you ttt. It’s not compulsory for you to do it ?

[Mamyalynne]

I think all those men (I could only see men) will cope with your opinion that they are gutless.

gromit: "But it is a voluntary gesture" - yeah in theory, but try abstaining and see what happens, this is the most obvious and public example of bullying I've seen in a long time. Disappointed that there wasn't some with the balls to not do it. Surprised you support bullying gromit.

If I were part of a sporting team I guess I’d do the same as the majority. I’m not sure what good it will do though. Will the police harass fewer black people because of kneeling?

[emmie]

perhaps they think they are about to be knighted.

[Gromit]

Formula 1 drivers Antonio Giovinazzi, Daniil Kvyat, Charles Leclerc, Kimi Raikkonen, Carlos Sainz Jr. and Max Verstappen did not take a knee before Sunday's race. No one was outraged or particularly bothered that they didn’t do it.

It is just a gesture. You don’t object when competitors shake hands before a match. So why object to them uniting to make an anti-racism gesture ?

[iluvmargie]

If they are being bullied into it, more fool them!!

"try abstaining and see what happens," What was said about the F1 drivers who didn't take the knee on Sunday?

[Bobbisox1]

Gromit shaking hands has been around for eons the knee has not but if they feel better saying and thinking “hey world look at me” let them , I don’t care

What exactly did you expect from the West Indies? That they weren't going to support BLM? Some of the greatest black sportsmen of all time have come from their ranks.

Taking the knee is getting a little old now, I admit, but your faux indignation about it when anyone CHOOSES to do it is getting old even quicker.

[webbo3]

another sport to ignore, im running out what with football and F1.

mozz: "What exactly did you expect from the West Indies? That they weren't going to support BLM? Some of the greatest black sportsmen of all time have come from their ranks. " - gawd do I have to spoon feed everything? I expect it from the WI but not from everyone else, umpires and general hangers on, prob

[ToraToraTora]

...ably the ground staff too!

[THECORBYLOON]

Was there an adverse reaction at the Grand Prix?

[Mamyalynne]

Write them all a very stern letter telling them what you think of them.

It's not impossible that the English Cricket Team wanted to show their solidarity, rather than being bullied into it.
