BLM is going international now. All players are related I guess...Black Lives Matter on the back of each player instead of their name.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Solid thread. Thanks for contributing.
Icon tells you how I feel.
LOL let them try this in Seria A! LOL EPL doesn't care about this all about marketing making more money hilarious actually.

You could have contributed by explaining why it's okay for them to do so and then explaining why you are okay with the organization's charter, but you chose to troll. Thanks.
Absolutely.
Its just how big businesses operate. Any movement that gains steam in social media, they have to show support for or deal with the annoyance of those people.
Interestingly enough, compared to MLS games, there is actually rampant racism in Europe. Specifically at soccer matches. We are talking about fans hooting like monkeys and throwing banana peels at players.

There is a long history of racism in European soccer. There has been a huge anti-racism campaign for several years now. It's not surprising that they would pull their anti-racism campaign under the BLM banner. There have been huge #BLM protests in London. It's a movement that reverberates across borders whether you want to believe it or not.
Going back to Jesse Owens in 1936, if not before, race issues have intersected with sports.
No one should have expected the current movement to not do the same; nor act like there was ever a sacred line between social issues and sports that kept "politics out of my sports."

Sad, too. The founders admit they're Marxists.

Owens had a good cause. Robinson did, too.
Is your point that current athletes don't have valid grievances? Black soccer players receive death threats, have bananas thrown at them, deal with fans making gorilla chants at them... the entire hooligan movement in the 70s/80s/90s was built on a skeleton of neo-fascism.

I'll give you Europe, but not the U.S.
I don't like that BLM has incorporated a sympathetic phrase when the organization is Marxist.
I don't understand why Yedlin is talking about not playing for the U.S. bc of "racial problems" but will take the money from Europeans.
1. Read the title of the thread. We're discussing European soccer.
2. Go back to the politics board. We appreciate a little more nuance out here. You can't just discard a global movement by labeling it Marxist.

Great. And Henry Ford was anti-Semitic and a nazi sympathizer. Yet we still love our F-150s.
The BLM movement is bigger than the "founders."

Yedlin, the player who plays Euro soccer is a hypocrite. He's likely on his way out of the USMNT.
Yeah, completely the same. Oh, such nuance! You're a joke.

Sharp.
It's a pretty common mistake to associate everything/everyone using the generic #BLM hashtag or slogan back to the organization of the same name. Not everyone who says "Black lives matter" would say they agree with 100% of the goals of the group's charter nor should they have to.
Geez. Take your politics somewhere else. #BLM is going to be in the soccer world for a while so either get over it or stop watching.
Exactly. Its a huge, worldwide movement. Its not monolithic. Heck, even in that video Cullors suggests there's some differences between even the founders, yet alone the millions around the world associating themselves with the BLM slogan.jeffk said:

Ah, forget it
Let's talk about Yedlin didn't even get to play rather than this complete BS from both sides.
Peddling marxism is very important. Glad I don't see this BS in Serie A or La Liga.JCRiley09 said:

Can we please send this over to the politics board. Please don't let that **** bleed in over here.
