I sympathize with UK footballers, who may feel they have no choice but to Bend The Knee. How much to they know about BLM, how much does anyone? Football players were doubtless told by their clubs that they must Bend The Knee, and were reluctant to say no. Too much hassle. Footballers are conditioned, like soldiers, to follow orders, and clubs have PR considerations.
So, I do not criticize the average footballer. I have some doubts about some black footballers, who are making political statements about BLM, in apparent ignorance of what they are. BLM is not Kick It Out. However, giving them the benefit of this doubt, they are possibly just trying to say the right thing, with some nudges from their sponsors; they too are being manipulated.
Apparently the WLM banner at a recent game is racist. Misunderstands the message of the BLM movement. Sure, whatever. I prefer All Lives Matter, but add to list of nonsense I simply do not care about. BLM is a political outfit, who are well funded by the usual sinister forces, and who appear to be a money laundering outfit for key Democrats, including Basement Biden. And they are hard left. A footballer can be conservative, and entirely respect Kick It Out, but have no time for BLM. I wonder what would happen if they simply stood, whilst their colleagues kneel? I think we know ...
Naturally, I personally regard BLM as an entirely racist hard-left outfit who are lapdogs on demand to their globalist masters, and this Bending The Knee cult is sinister. But, I'm not a public figure, nor even a lowly sportsman. I genuinely pity whose who are.
