[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 1000905, member: 40658"] Our sports minister doesn't really care if other non-saffa's did or didn't take the knee. For him it's purely political, and he's trying to score political points. There is a massive issue about this BLM movement in SA, and in Cricket it's much worse with a bunch of former Protea players suddenly voicing their struggles while they were playing, and how they were discriminated against. Some of the remarks are a bunch of BS, but they are still getting a platform and are running with their drivel. The kneeling, for a lot of guys are a religious thing, and most of them will only kneel when praying. But I think the minister is missing the gesture these guys had, they rather chose to stand united against racism, which IMHO is bigger than black lives matter, because they are standing up against all forms of racism, not just against black people. But our government just can't remove their eyepatches. Depending on what the executive committee finds with their investigation, my guess is that some of these players might not feature again in a springbok jersey, which would be a big loss for SA rugby, should the minister have his way. It's just once again an example, with how spineless WR and other nations are against our government and their repeated interference into sport. [/QUOTE]
