Is it Empathy, Sympathy or What ?

Not sure why all clubs would do it but certainly the ones he's been associated with...

Yes, that would be fitting, good old fashioned manager was the ‘Doc’ knew how to get the best out of his players, not one you messed with he was giving out the hair dryer treatment way before Fergie ever did, condolences to his family.

I live in the US and I'm a cop, so in a lot of ways I get looked eyed all kinds of cross from some of you guys. I see where you said the US is dysfunctional, and I don't know if I agree. I think most people think we are because that's what the mainstream media say. But the media is sh*t, plain and simple. They paint the country as 2 different sides, and most people don't adhere to that. Most people I know could give a f**k about the left or the right, or defunding the police, or socialism, etc. Most people around here in Central VA  don't care if your black or white , or police, of gay or straight. Life is too busy for that and generally people are bigger than that. They have COVID to deal with, and money to think about. Their kids have sports and they need to pick something up for dinner. The typical person is just trying to get by, not in a miltia or ANTIFA

I work narcotics, so I'm detached in personal experience on what a road cops life has been like the past 10 months, but all my guys tell me people have been cool and understanding. Granted I live in Central VA, a few hours away from a major city. Still, people know who we are as people and don't judge us by the acts of the few. The George Floyd situation was awful, it doesn't take a cop or a rocket scientist to see that. Unfortunately there are bad apples in every walk of life, but when a cop is bad its even worse because of the consequences being so dire.

Unfortunately it was an electon year though, and so many things were spun to fit a political narrative. I do agree that hopefully things will calm down here and around the world now that it is over. It sickens me to see the media try to divide a country for personal gain. But they've all used Covid 19 to fit their agenda, sooo. I would like to see teams get away from kneeling before each game as imo all it does is keep the discussion alive when it was way more complicated then it was painted out to be.

Just my two cents

Very relevant especially what you say about the political spin .

Your last sentence makes a lot of sense.

Good Post !

Just my two cents

It's a bloody good two cents too. They use to say money is the root of all evil as I grew up, don't know if that's the case where you live. However, in my opinion it's now changed. Social media is the root of all evil.

Great post and actually tells more of what actually is going on and not listening to the tw*ts in the media telling us otherwise.

I take a knee every time I use a vending machine or get on a bus. and just when I am about to be served at Asda I take a knee. And I feel it’s important to take a knee each time the postman knocks on my door.
When children point at me in the street and ask their folks what I am doing I am sure they are getting into discussion about race equality and social injustice.
