Woke Soccer Stars Take a Knee, But 30,000 Angry Fans Instantly Raise a Deafening Response

A crowd of young Hungarians let the ⚽Soccer stars of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿England know how they felt about the team’s decision to kneel to protest racism before every game.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿England’s national team began kneeling last year to mark the death of George Floyd in 2020, and they have kept up the gesture.

But on Saturday, the team received a reception that players did not expect when it played in Budapest, 🇭🇺Hungary, according to The Washington Post.

The game’s conditions were odd to begin with. As a punishment for what were ruled to be anti-gay banners, homophobic crowd behavior and racial abuse towards opposing players, 🇭🇺Hungary had been ordered to play without fans. However, in the end, children under 14 were allowed in, with one adult for every 10 kids.
