Dubbed a “denialist of the legitimacy of Black Lives Matter”, former footballer Mark Fish remains unfazed by continued criticism of his “all lives matter” stance.It all started when a Twitter user noticed he liked a post which was dismissive of BLM and critical of Springbok captain, who recently spoke out on issues of race. Asked where he stands, Fish said all lives matter.

He trended on Twitter as people weighed in on his views. Some accused him of being a racist and others of ignorance. On Wednesday afternoon, he claimed that he received an influx of hateful messages but said he remains unfazed.“Sorry to offend many people, I certainly am not a racist but I'm a firm believer that all people matter, so all lives matter,” he tweeted.— Mark Fish Sorry to offend many people...
