I don’t have a problem with it, I just don’t agree with the gesture in a sports game because people who are fed up of politics in general, can and should enjoy politically free sports and entertainment, politics should be kept away from sports.
I already fundamentally know Racism is unacceptable in any society and I would like to think a good majority of the fans in sports do to. Look at the positive response to what fans have done to combat the vandalism on Marcus Rashfords’s Mural. He commented on Twitter last night that he was brought to tears over the messages put on that wall to cover up the foul crap graffitied on it by racists.
But Politics and sport should always be kept separate IMO.
