Can anyone explain? Why do England players kneel for George Floyd, but US players do not?

It's fucking retarded that the death of one worthless junkie became a world-wide phenomenon. As if the death of that piece of shit affected anyone literally living on the other side of the globe. There are real human rights violations going on every minute all over the world all throughout China, Africa, and every third-world shithole, but no one gives a shit about them. One dipshit dies in America though, and suddenly everyone cries about the horrible treatments of black people.
If these countries have a problem with how the US supposedly treats blacks, why the hell aren't they offering to take them in? They have no issues taking in plenty of other "oppressed" brown people.
I’ve had people get upset when I remind them that there is actual oppression in parts of the world. And I agree. How Floyd became some symbol for racism is beyond me. I’m a proud American but that is one of the most embarrassing moments as a country (the summer of love).
Complete subservience of white people to low impulse control criminal foreigners is exactly the point of pretty much all western politics at the moment.
No one would care without the media making it an issue.
Because they're a conquered and subjugated people who have long since lost their pride.
If you don’t understand that the UK (and even more so, Aus/NZ, and possibly Canada) is even more captured than the US, then you haven’t been paying close enough attention…
Honestly, there might be less open rioting, but the elites in the UK and the rest of the “Commonwealth” are waaaay more on board with this shit than you can even imagine…
For this specific case, look up Rashford and the UEFA Cup debacle. That led to open calls for censorship of the internet by the British government (!!). That should tell you all you need to know, frankly.
they should stop with their political statements, this is SPORT, remember.
The predominant attitude on the soccer subreddit is that "soccer is inherently political." LOL.
Thats the predominant attitude of reddit, period. Its totally astroturfed
Well there have been supporters of certain teams clearly associated with political parties but a lot of that can more reasonably be broken down to the teams location and class of the supporters . Look at Rangers vs Celtic or AC Milan Vs Inter Milan . The sport itself though is just a game and is in no way political.
Exactly right.
They kind of painted themselves into a corner. They initially started kneeling in fealty to BLM. They wore BLM branded t-shirts with the organisation's web address on. After a few weeks, once people pointed out just how batshit crazy BLM are, they pretended that the kneeling had nothing to do with the organisation and claimed they were just kneeling to protest any and all kinds of discrimination. So until all discrimination everywhere stops (which obviously won't happen) they must continue to kneel, or they have to admit that they openly support a corrupt racist, marxist organisation and lied to the public about it.
The need to virtue signal is extremely powerful is all I can think of
UK is the biggest import of cuckery in the world. Forget it's own issues, import others and claim you're saving the world
Bongs are like the little brother who is always trying to out-do big bro. They see American left wing negro worship and say "I'll do that, but double it".

Because they're a bunch of faggots
Not like the US is much better. They changed their team logo to a fag flag. Muslims said no, though, and threw the new logo off a roof.
England praying for Fentanyl from their new God.
The vassal state kneels before its master.
The USA should kneel for the victims of rape gangs in Europe then.
They did all their kneeling in the regular season
The World Cup is functionally a competition to see which country's team of Africans can defeat every other country's team of Africans so it's fairly on-brand.
Not really. Soccer is not well suited for blacks. That's why american sports commentators will blather on and on about soccer needing rule changes to make it "more exciting" which means more sprinting instead of endurance. Similar rule changes have been made to American football and basketball decades ago.
I said Africans for a reason. As in, from Africa. Soccer in the Americas is dominated by Latinos but in Europe, the French/German/UK/etc teams will heavily recruit Africans (typically from the African countries which were former colonies).
They're stupid. They love rubbing it into the faces of the hoi polloi how much better they think they are. They understand on a primitive level that moralizing and empty gestures are a good deflector of criticism, like asset strippers and outsourcers who are also "philanthropists". They "know" (primitively, it's all primitive) that they're paid too much. They do what they are told.
because they're faggots
Because some rich nigger needed to renegotiate his contract, they all do it now in solidarity.
"Yo, we can't get regular jobs. That's shit don' pay nuffin. So, like, we do this shit, right? An, ya, we can do it and keep our pussy pansy kickin a ball round, nuffin betta, and so we get paid. Nuff said."
Because the (We know sweet) FA (about politics) is run by a feminist activist.
