Rule Britannia - Saturday

Assuming they are going to carry on with this, I wonder if we will start to hear choruses of Rule Britannia as the players take the knee. Sure that would be the case if the stadium was full.

Why Rule Britannia?
'Stand up, if you love West Ham' is a better option surely.

So the opposite of "no room for racism" is "Rule Britannia"?
Fucking weird, that.

Didn't the movement make an application to become a political party ?
Like it or not, lots of people don't agree with the gesture.

Lots of people agree with the sentiment behoid it, but might not appreciate having it stuffed down their throat.

Exactly this. And the people pushing it will be clueless to this and every football fan will be labelled WACIST.

I don't agree with the taking a knee bollocks but I dont think the correct way to combat it is by making yourself look like an ignorant knuckle dragging UKIP voting cunt boleyntwat son.
Try to fight against your inherited genes, you fucking peasant.

When they take the knee, try a rousing rendition of "Mammy, How I love you, How I love you, My Dear Old Mammy".
Culturally relevant and historically significant.

The more they do it, the less it loses it's power and symbolism.
BUT singing Rule Britannia as an anecdote is not going to end well.

Rios,
I would surmise that The Woke community will take us singing a symbol of national pride during their knee taking as if you are a proud Brit you are a racist.
This will then be applied to if you are a West Ham fan you are a racist.
I might be wrong though, so Rios how does it go right in your scenario?

I think I've got his right. You ask if BLM made an application to become a political party (because you obviously don't know) and then state people don't like such a gesture (which you've idea even happened) so we should all sing Rule Britannia as a consequence.

You don't agree with it, but you're too scared to do anything about it?

Just sing no surrender to the BLM that will make your feelings clear.
What could possibly go wrong?

aside from making you look like a racist (which you clearly are), what statement does singing Rule Britannia make?
