Football matches in the 50's/60's were far more orderly and a form of enjoyment and entertainment for all with little or none of the violence etc. that we witness today.
Spectators today are a different breed and some are worse than wild animals from what you see on the news. Society is so full of hatred and violence it does make you wonder where it all comes from.
Racism is just used an excuse to vent the violence that a handful of these pea-brained idiots display, not only at football matches but most places where there are crowds and where they know that they'll get the attention that they attract----buses, trains, planes. If this behaviour is ignored and they lack an audience, then it'll stop.
By " taking the knee " only adds fuel to the smouldering fires of those as described so it's about time that these practices were stopped to give less cause for their need to retaliate in any way.
Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise.
