I could understand at the time when it first started but it’s now old hat & becoming a joke I’m afraid.
100% agree!!

i wouldnt say i disagree with it, especially as a mixed race person whos suffered racism from my school days onwards. from my perspective i dont think the message is clear and there is so much more that can be done thats ignored.
the punishments, or lack of, that go to these countries where the whole stadium is monkey chanting etc is pathetic, pathetic fines and even denials from the countires fas where it happens.
from the very top UEFA and FIFA they dont give a crap and will punish you hard for minimal offences like advertising breaches but get a whole stadium of racists making racist chants to players and they get nothing or very little punishment.

If UEFA and FIFA dont care I dont think taking the knee matters.

IMO of course

Totally agree with Matt and DA Mikey.
At 74 years of age, I have happily worked alongside and played football alongside people of various ethnicities without any issues at all. And as a club, we have also been represented by players of all ethnicities over the years. As Matt said, happy to see the knee in the initial stages, but I can't see what is now being gained by continuing the action. So support the Darts in not now Taking the Knee. All in it together.
