    While stadiums have been empty due to the pandemic, there has been a campaign within the Global Football Community to push forward their message of "NO to Racism" with a new protocol before matches of kneeling for 1 minute before the game, this is in association with Black Lives Matter, with every team having a BLM emblem on their kits and BLM graphics logos on sports networks live games.

    It has gone well, with the whole professional community on board but with opening up of stadiums for supporters the concern would surely be that some would disrespect this minute silence.

    it is unfair to single out usa, since they are the first to let in supporters but it appears that sections of the dallas crowd began booing during the "No to Racism" protocol before their last game.

    what we can take from this episode though is that the supposed beacon of democracy and equality, the super power, is nothing more than a racists haven unless more severe action is taken in the fight against racism.

    Because there is very little racism in the country and people are tired of being told they're racist just because they're white?

    Yes, welcome to the backlash, BLM have had things their own way for a while but now it's changing.

    Who knows, Maybe they are booing to show support for Halloween during that moment of silence.

    Last I checked people can pick any cause they like and support that cause however and whenever they like, including during a moment of silence.

    No reason to get offended, the booers should be encouraged to speak up for what they believe in, it's our job to listen and understand, be open and accepting.

    What we should take from this is that people prefer sports without politics.

    Or maybe, just maybe, they simply came to watch a game. Not be told to do something that more than likely doesn't even apply to the vast majority, if not ALL of them. Did ya think of that? Did anyone even attempt to ask them?

    There's an old saying..... Assumptions are the mother of all F ups. And the left LOVES to assume that anyone that doesn't toe their line and agree with what they say and the actions that they take, are racist. Without a single shred of proof to back them up.

    BLM is an evil association that doesnt care about black lives. Showing disrespect for the flag is bad enough but forcing BLM agenda on people is outrageous.

    The main problem with the black community is that boys dont have a father and mother in the home and thus the gangs and culture of crime within the neighborhoods.

    BLM wants to keep fathers out of the home of black families and destroy the nuclear families that still exist n white communities. How can anybody be for that?

    if the owners of dallas dont ban these racists then the players need to take action, maybe go on strike. booing during a minutes silence to a protocol THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED GLOBALLY BY THE FOOTBALLING BODIES is total disrespect and should not be tolerated anywhere no matter what nation you are. this is not sporting behaviour and action needs to be taken by dallas owner if he doesnt want to be seen as supporting racism

    What is "wayciss" about booing politics being shoved down your throat when you paid to simply watch a ball game? Try to actually elaborate specifically?

    I completely support saying no to racism.

    That's exactly why I'm against BLM.

    Prove its racism. Oh wait, you can't. You just assume. Do you know what happens when you assume? (HINT: The answer is right there in the word)

    It is self centered to want their entertainment free of politics? Curious opinion.

    No it isn't. It is anger that politics were brought onto the playing field.

    What we can ACTUALLY take away from this:

    1) People don't like being lectured.

    2) People especially don't like being lectured by privileged/virtu-signaling/racist jackasses.

    3) People go to sporting events for entertainment & to get AWAY from the BS, not have it hurled at them.

    4) Sports franchises better get a clue before they lose any more fans.
