BLM wasn't mentioned in their statement just they were against racial inequality and discrimination . Apparently Dominic Cummings said that in his experience of them , Conservative MPs did not care about poor people or the NHS. So sorting out poverty may take some time , the fact that children in the UK qualify for aid by the UN says it all . A lot of people who are applying for Universal Credit for the first time are finding out just how you get treated when you fall to the bottom of the pile through no fault of your own.

In football a clash of heads could mean both players being subbed on refs orders rather than players staying on as they “ passed the test” .

Chris Sutton castigating FA/PFA today , after Jeff Astle was said to have died due to constant heading by the coroner the FA PFA instigated an investigation but won't/refuse/can't release the findings .Sutton's Dad suffered with dementia.

Arsenal looked like they would score several times against Burnley but didn’t.

Blimey Theo scores when he had time to think first !

I have read several articles about this and agree that it is a problem in football and rugby . It would seem that a full scale monitoring program is required to try to pinpoint the cause. Heading , contact with the head for football plus inheriting a condition for football . Rugby seems to be contact : tackle , scrum , ruck etc plus training all week so with bulked up players in constant contact situations who can’t last 80 mins these days . Their authorities seem seem poor , claiming no direct link etc in the same way as tobacco , asbestos industries did. in football they need to work out if current players are in the same danger as former players but Rugby need to have a fundamental rethink . They didn’t have subs in our day !

Yes I find it confusing as well but we may have to come to terms with “equality “ !

Fat Sam is past his sell by date ,surely WBA could have come up with a better idea ?

Maybe just sounding out Man U in case Bertie doesn’t sign ?

Looking at the match stats , for once they don't lie !

Why on earth did Ralph bring Redmond on and leave Ings on as well ??? Ha Ha

Come on Ralph time to protect out crown jewel

I’d plump for Christopher Plummer. In the quiz that is ...

Still above both Manc teams !

Went for goal rather than passing to his 2 team mates so lost again .

Austin makes the bench !

Jimenez , can he play again ? Cech had head protection but could an outfield player ?

You wonder what the club knew/did about his problems during his playing days.

It sounds like he was upset because he was called a black guy rather than by his name so bit of a non event then , a bit of a nothing investigation followed by face saving statement in 2021 .....

Neil Warnock the Messiah , who'd of thought it !

I don't know why The Prem and FA fail to think these things through and do their own anti racism thing relevant to football , by that I mean making an effort to get more divergency in coaching and management roles . That way it would not be politicised but you wonder if the quality of leadership is there in football. BLM is a loose organization , anyone can set up a chapter and join so there are extreme ideas and elements associated with them . This has been exploited by Trump and his extreme right wing supporters . This has lead to a 17 year old wandering the streets during the protests with a high powered rifle shooting 3 people , at least one died , he has appeared in court and is out on 1M dollar bail , not sure who stumped that up . I think the knee was relevent to USA as it was during the Stars and Stripes where everyone is supposed to stand with hand on heart , it doesn't really translate so stop it now.

Is it Racism or just natural human tribalism ? all people seem to be tribal to some extent .

Welcoming and tolerant ? FFS BLM is an American thing , it won’t get much traction in the UK . In the UK we will be worried about getting enough food etc , thanks to Boris.

Wasn’t Ba complaining that the 4th official said “that black guy” rather than “the black guy” ?
