Although those that run the Premier League have decreed that those clubs that play in the top-flight of English football will take the knee before games, that is not the case in the EFL.
Indeed, Luton Town have confirmed, via a – Club Statement – that the players have made a united decision not to take the knee.
Like many supporters, they feel it has become an action that is being misrepresented as a political symbol.
Instead, the club statement informs us that the players intend to stand together around the centre circle in support of all other teams that choose to do so.
Taking the knee is something that we discussed in an article last season and, if I recall correctly, it was met with a mixed response from our readership, some were for but others were against.
This latest decision will, no doubt, prove to be a talking point, but when it comes to racial equality, I would hazard a guess that Luton are among the leaders when it comes to fairness and giving everyone an equal opportunity.
It remains to see how many clubs in the Championship follow Luton’s example though, will it be the majority or the minority?

if anybody wants to kneel down before a game to show support for a cause they agree with, thats fine by me. this rascist abuse that people talk about is i think mainly on social media sites. now i know this might sound too easy, but don’t switch the phone or whatever device you use on. is it to easy to switch off. we all know that some moronic people regard rascist comments as normal,i’m guessing that most people are against rascism,and its up to everybody to let them people know that its wrong. i also know how whole families are brought up to hate the black skin of fellow human beings,its in there D.N.A. it will take a long time to eradicate these feelings of hate,but lets hope for a better future.COYH.
some fine words there jimbo
