Former players hit out and Show Racism the Red Card calls for education on the issue after Gary Rowett refuses to condemn fans for booing Fulham players
Millwall manager Gary Rowett
MILLWALL manager Gary Rowett has been slammed for his claim that the act of taking the knee before matches is causing a “rift and divide” in football and that authorities must find a “more positive” alternative to the gesture.
Rowett failed to condemn his club’s fans after they booed Fulham’s players for making the gesture at the Den on Tuesday night.
Fulham players knelt ahead of the Championship match, which they went on to win 2-1, while Millwall’s chose to stand — some with a fist raised as a show of solidarity.
