Tyrone Mings

Those "stubborn" Black people, eh? When are they ever happy? They'll be wanting not to be treated differently because of the colour of their skin, next.

You guys are deranged. Suggesting that a black man is being stubborn makes me racist. Really? You're utterly deranged.

And you've been warned for the final time.

[Meanwood Villa]

This woke nonsense has gone too far. You can't even criticise a Villa player for supporting racial equality these days. Deranged.

I think this sums it up perfectly:

If you want to boo it then I assume you also boo poppies on shirts and flag waving (at football) because they are all politic statements and can both be linked to specific sections of society using them as part of a specific political agenda.

Chrisf - what does the ‘f’ stand for?

[LeeB]

Fuckwit?

[LeeB]

In fairness, he's gone in strong with his straw man bingo. I was going to call house but I think I was a bit late to the party.

Chrisf - what does the ‘f’ stand for?

It's my surname. Same as my dad and his dad and his dad who used to have Pongo Waring round for tea on a Sunday.

Also what does the ‘C’ stand for?

[LeeB]

I hope the knee taking keeps going, it's working. Like that stuff they put in the swimming pools to show who's been pissing.

[Brazilian Villain]

Also what does the ‘C’ stand for?

Given his location I'd guess Cantabrigian.

[cdbearsfan]

Bloody Trekkie.

The last three pages have been a depressing read. Tl;dr, a white man knows more about racism than a cultured, educated, sensitive mixed race man who has overcome hardship, racism and poverty to take a stand against racism. It's a great look for us as a fanbase.

Just copying my original message for context.

I'm a massive fan of Tyrone but think he's on to a loser here.

"At the same time, at Wembley there was a hugely positive reaction to us taking the knee as well"
Right Ty. That's why you were trying to keep everyone else kneeling when they jumped up after a couple of seconds.

You can't have BLM on your shirts when you first start making the symbol then say it's not that BLM when they make the met police kneel and try to burn the Union Jack at the cenotaph. It doesn't wash. It's going to get booed. Do something else.

[LeeB]

It's no better second time around.
