Re: Black Lives Matter
All the people there must be sharing the same brain cell. Imagine 'defending' Churchill and the Cenotaph with Nazi salutes.

Re: Black Lives Matter
This genius decided the best way to protect the monuments was to urinate on the memorial for PC Keith Palmer who died fighting a terrorist attack!

I suspect he didn't actually pay attention to what it was but what an idiot.

Accusing me of self righteousness when you're more concerned that a statue is damaged and that its grade 2 listing makes it more important than peoples suffering is just rank hypocrisy.

And yet you're the one who said smashing the statue balanced out 18000 peoples deaths

Re: Black Lives Matter
Football stupidly (IMHO) enters the frey, so much for no political symbols.

In this case it was the Players' union that pushed it and the FA were not going to pick a fight over it.

It can't pan out badly. Will people boycott? No, of course they won't. They'd look ridiculous if they did.

Re: Black Lives Matter
Well its kinda hard to boycaott something you cannot attend in the first place.
No one is really going to know if you dont watch it on TV.
Its just a dumb publicity stunt, that wont achieve anything, but may bite them in the future.

You seem fascinated by Nazi Salutes .... 
Of course, if people sharing the same brain cell had not decided to loot and dump a statue in Bristol last week, and then attack and deface others, no one would feel the need to defend any other statues.

Re: Black Lives Matter
If people are going to resist arrest aggressively and be "armed", what do they expect?

In the video, he can be seen on the ground outside a Wendy's restaurant, struggling with two police officers.
He grabs an officer's Taser and breaks free from the officers, running away. The other officer then manages to use a Taser on Brooks and both officers then run out of the frame of the video.
Gun shots can then be heard and Brooks is seen on the ground.
He was taken to hospital but later died. One of the officers was treated for an injury from the incident.

Are the police just expected to let them go? It seems so.

The thing about Nazi salutes, is that they should also be seen as calling the other side a Nazi. Which side is suppressing free speech and opinion, and is Socialist?

I 100% agree it’s a publicity stunt - cheap, easy PR and being seen to do the right thing. That’s an easy win for them - much easier than actually resolving racism in the game or society.
With so much money in football, mostly from TV companies half of which comes from overseas, a further high percentage from matchday hospitality at the top. I just don’t see where the ‘bite’ comes from in future. It’d need people to feel so strongly against the stunt that it hits them in the pocket.
