It happens before every game of football/soccer here too.
I hate it.
Not because I don't think black lives matter (of course they do, but so does every life).
My issue is the organisation from root to top and the sort of people involved with it. There's actually a movement within this moment that think black people are better than white people - certainly that's the way I read it when I see phrases like "white privilege" thrown around.
In the UK we've got a couple of initiatives called 'Show Racism The Red Card' and 'Kick It Out' which their slogans would be worn on players tops/training gear and messages played out over the tannoy systems etc.
There was nothing wrong with those campaigns. Everyone was behind it and would applaud before matches and acknowledge the messages.
I'm certainly not against equality in sport. Sport is for everyone no matter what, but divisive, anarchist organisations masquerading as virtue and equality offends me on many levels.
It's also went on so long it's actually hard to come up with a stop to it because the minute it gets stopped (as it's went on so long) certain folk (elitists, the media etc) will now say it's racist to stop promoting it and the world is back to not taking racism seriously again or some other mind-numbing nonsense.
BLM needs to rebrand and come up with something more inclusive. It's another polarising outlet the world needs like a hole in the head at the moment.
