on Tuesday urging the country to reflect on the issue.
Author and soccer writer Henry Winter applauded Southgate's missive as patriotic and progressive, but said racism in the sport was not new and had been a blight on the game for decades."This is a fairly empowered generation of players ... They've got quite a conscience," he said."They've just decided enough is enough."support taking a knee, with backing highest in Portugal, Italy and Spain. It found just over half of soccer fans in England supported the gesture.
Mann said he was worried that serious conversations about racism were being"hijacked" and subject to"dangerous manipulation," by those who benefit from social divisions. He called on the government to explicitly amplify the"For me, the interventions from the government have been massively unhelpful to say the least," he added.
These pinhead soccer players from England who this week in Qatar took a knee against the oppressors in America would be marching with a goose step had it not been brave Americans who boarded ships in the 40’s to fight for their freedom
The Hooligans of soccer are an understanding and conscientious lot...right Doubt it...anywhere.

TheLoser is not going to like seeing this... He was furious when some NFL players were doing it...
Now...everyone knows it's not fake racial injustice...that point was proven again by the crowd booing. Booing just proves the team is right when they kneel...in PROTEST. Crowd is stupid.
Are you surprised about who booed?
It must be extremely painful to have your racism diagnosed and removed. Those who boo are feeling their white privilege being ripped out of their soul.
Just play your game, your not paid to do that on the field, do it after..
Spinless kneeling weaklings.
People watch sports to escape life’s troubles. So when they bring life’s troubles into a pastime you will be met with boos. I’d boo too when my escapes from life’s stresses are being invaded BY LIFES STRESSES.
Love guys with the courage of William Braveheart. Doing the right thing is always hard. It takes a coward to boo at these men. Now can we see more white men in the USA do this. It always takes 1 to start and many more to make the change.
People need to realize that injustice of any kind will never completely go away. There are a great many kinds of injustice in this world. Kneeling just makes people mad, in the UK and in the US. These athletes need to understand this and play ball, not politics.
This is why I think that the U.S. is less racist than anywhere else in the world. You get a smattering of applause and also some groans, but not necessarily boos.
Incredible how a symbolic gesture against racism is controversial. If you have a problem with it, you are the problem
Monkey see monkey do.
You know who boos calling out racism? Racists.
Americans shouldn't talk about football
Oh FFS.
England hasn’t played yet, this is from a friendly
No they didn’t. They haven’t played yet
