Qatar World Cup 2022: England will take the knee at matches

I’m pretty sure even American athletes aren’t even doing this anymore. I’ve heard zero mention of this the past two seasons in most major sports.

I hope Iran blasts them out of the stadium

The symbolic act, which was thrust into the spotlight when Colin Kaepernick knelt during the U.S. national anthem in 2016, became commonplace in English football after its post-lockdown resumption in the summer of 2020. It is intended to protest against racism toward the Black community following the death of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests around the world.

So the above paragraph from the linked article is pure word salad. Kaepernick wasn’t kneeling for the memory or cause of George Floyd’s fentanyl death, he was kneeling because he was relegated to second string and wasn’t going to get a new contract.

That’s a fact.

And as for BLM, it has clearly been proven It was nothing but a scam.

If England wants to honestly explain why it is taking a knee, then that would be interesting. But for some reason it has to do with Colin Kaepernick‘s NFL career and a dead drug abuser and wanna be porn star.

I kneel before no man but Jesus.

Or, maybe they’re doing it as a middle finger to Qatar, who does not recognize human rights.

If they really gave a shite they shouldnt have participated in WC

But as a society we love virtue signaling that costs us nothing so we kneel for 5 seconds

Should take a knee for the Qatar laborers and fifa.

Because players don’t make the rules of international football.
But, while there, on literally the largest sports stage on the planet, you can kneel/raise a fist/wear a band, to signal that these cavemen of the Middle East are some backwards, sheep banging, slave owning, pieces of shite.

Boycotting really isn’t in the question.

America really does start some of the worst global trends sometimes.

They continued doing this in the Premier League into this past Spring, even though black players were saying it needed to stop because no one gave a shite anymore. It's incredible the English FA still thinks it's worth doing.

It's hilarious that the France national team and the French league never made kneeling a thing despite all the black and brown players who play for them.
