A vocal section of Millwall fans have been branded an "absolute disgrace" for booing as players took the knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Millwall's match with Derby on Saturday was the first time their supporters were able to watch from the stands since the coronavirus pandemic halted games in March.

About 2,000 fans attended the game at The Den but it was overshadowed as loud booing could be heard when players from both teams took the knee before kick off, with at least one supporter heard shouting "get up!".

I believe their slogan was “Nobody likes us and we don’t care”. Don’t sound like the type of people who would be impressed with attempts by privilaged elitist to shame them into virtue signalling.

Exactly!

It would be a disgrace if they did not boo.

What the heck is Millwall??
A London based minor league soccer team who wore pink uniforms while kneeling before the match. Rather pathetic, as some Brits might say.

That volume of boos had to be nearly the entire crowd. I smell revolution in the air.

That’s nice but meaningless if they didn’t walk out.

Lives matter.

If you feel the need to put a color in front of that, then YOU are the racist.

I agree, ‘taking a knee,’ is disgraceful. They do not even know what they are protesting. Long live the USA.
