Perfect Irony?

Everton V West Brom

A clap at the begging of the game for Everton fan Jacob Billington who was murdered in Birmingham by Zephaniah McLeod

And then they take a knee for BLM.

Black lives still matter.
I’m not sure about white people taking the knee. Feels a bit virtue-signalling to me. But thankfully I don’t have to make that choice.

They're there to play football. Just get on with it!

And we're getting stuffed!! Coyb.

But they don't matter more than non-black lives; which is why the statement is racist, as must be all supporting that twoddle.

I don't think "ironic" is the right word. Not wanting people killed seems fairly standard. What it has to do with football, and why only these cases, that's more of a mystery.

[ummmm]

Of course all lives matter.

I can understand the BLM movement in the US but not so much here. How many black people in the UK get murdered by the police?
