England players were once again booed by some of their own fans before Sunday’s final Euro 2020 warm-up game; Gareth Southgate reiterates England’s players will continue to take part in anti-racism gesture

Disgraceful that England fans should boo their own team simply for taking the knee in support of the BLM campaign which is international.
What were they thinking? That black lives don't matter? Many of the England players are black and have experienced racism first hand and very recently. Striker Marcus Rashford received over 70 racist abuse texts after his team Man Utd. were beaten by Villareal in the Europa League Final. Amazingly one of the most abusive texts came from a maths teacher. Fair enough say he played crap if you think that, but what has his race and the fact he is black got to do with it? Marcus has since the England incident come out and said the England team will continue taking the knee before all their games in the European Nations Cup, so in other words, 'fuck em!'
No it's not, it's great that they booed their own team. Someone has to tell them it's an outrage.
Racism? Many of the England team are Black. That's the team representing England...'rule Britannia', 'colonial empire' and all that.
The very fact that those Black players are in England in the first place, and in the national team, proves that England is not racist.
Are these players taking a knee during the national anthem?
If so, that's seen by many people as an insult to England and to the Queen.
Trump called for such players in America to be sacked.
BLM campaign, which seems to be dividing the world into Black, and White...will only end in misery for many people, as the race war ignites.
Ah yes, racism?
What, like when Lee Rigby was hacked to death in a London St?
When UK politician Sir David Amess was stabbed to death recently in a church?
All those people, including Aussie girls, hacked to death on London etc bridges?
London bombings 2005?
Does the knee-taking include that racism?
