The Knee
1Apologies for resurrecting this thread, but it seems to have disappeared. Tonight in the Nations League we had English fans calling Hungary & their fans racist. True, well quite possibly. Wales took the knee against the Netherlands, who chose not to. Now the Netherlands have far more BAME players than Wales do & yet we are taking the knee. Critics of Hungary say they don’t take the knee because they are Eastern European. If you’ve ever been there, they will tell you they are at the very centre of Europe & not Eastern at all. Now the Netherlands is certainly a Western European nation & far more liberal than the UK & they don’t take the knee. So can we now finally drop this virtue-signalling nonsense & keep politics out of football for ever.
