#takingaknee — Public Fediverse posts

Call for #athletes to #coopt ‘#takingaknee’ against #trans #atheletes is ‘#bitter #mockery’, (and #racism) #activists say

The gesture of #takingaknee – #synonymous with #protests against #racism and #policebrutality – was popularised in 2016 after #NFL #star #ColinKaepernick did in protest during the playing of the #nationalanthem at the start of a game.

#BLM #BlackLivesMatter

I sometimes thing the #PremierLeague #Footballers are pampered and given too much attention but it’s good to see that they are setting a good example with the likes of #MarcusRashford using his influence for the good of the community. Also good to see tonight’s #football #players wearing #BlackLivesMatter on the back of their #jerseys and #TakingAKnee prior to their matches.
