Good statement that. It'll be interesting to see if anyone takes him up on his offer to applaud during players taking the knee. But irrespective of how that turns out, that sends out a nice clear message that racists and/or apologists for racism won't be tolerated at their club. |  |

Brilliant statement. All credit to Mr. Cowling and Col U and I hope any supporters here who may think of anything similar take note. |  |

Followed by: "I will be happy to refund anyone for the remaining value of their season permit."
Absolute no nonsense approach. Good for them.
How hard can it be. |  |

This was the only bit that seemed a little odd to me.
I understand why Cowling has suggested it, but given why the players are taking the knee and their aims and objectives in doing so, to applaud it strikes me as a little, dare I say, patronising? |  |

It shows support in a better way than joining them taking the knee in the concrete concourse.
It also goes some way to drowning out any idiots that still insist on booing. |  |

This is the Leyton Orient Chairman's response to Saturday. No messing:
Chairman Nigel Travis yesterday issued his own statement, part of which referred to the club’s strong stance that “anyone making discriminatory noises or other discriminatory actions will be removed from the ground and banned for life.”
Questions have been directed to the club, including whether taking the knee is supporting the political organisation Black Live Matters, and their ideologies. |  | | |

Since they are not racist, they could hardly disagree with such a policy. | |

Sure did.
It would make it more fun if it were less obvious. [Post edited 7 Dec 2020 22:58]

Was saying to Phil, I'd respect these people a bit more if they came out with what they mean rather than lead everyone a merry dance.
They'd still be detestable, but at least we'd all know where we stand. | |
