The ongoing row about freedom of expression regarding the San Francisco Giants baseball players who exercised their First Amendment right to include Bible verses written on their rainbow queer-caps during a \u201cpride night\u201d game on June 12 may seem like a quintessentially American sporting controversy. But such two-tier ideological standards are now one of America\u2019s greatest global exports, alongside Coca-Cola, McDonald\u2019s, gay marriage, and DEI.<\/p>\n

Witness what happened before kick-off in the England soccer team\u2019s opening World Cup game against Croatia only a few days after the Giants debacle. Anyone who watched it will have seen an egregious left-wing protest taking place by all 11 England players as the game started \u2014 they just may not have noticed it. That\u2019s because the protest in question was completely invisible.<\/p>\n

To the untrained eye, the England team appeared to do nothing at all. That, however, was the whole point \u2014 because they had been specifically asked<\/em> to do something by thousands of their fellow countrymen. Unfortunately, what they had been asked to do was considered the wrong thing, politically speaking: to kneel before kick-off for Henry Nowak.<\/p>\n

No Knee for Nowak<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Henry Nowak was the innocent 18-year-old Anglo-Polish boy murdered by a Sikh in the U.K. city of Southampton in December, then handcuffed by DEI-brainwashed cops who automatically believed Nowak was the aggressor because he was the white one. His case had really hit home among the British public before the World Cup began, and a campaign was launched requesting that the English team either take a knee or hold a moment of silence in Nowak\u2019s memory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This felt appropriate because, like U.K. Prime Minister Keir \u201cTwo-Tier\u201d Starmer, Nowak was a big fan of the English Premier League team Arsenal F.C., several of whose players were in the England line-up, and because he had been stabbed on his way back from meeting his own amateur football (as soccer is called in Britain) teammates on a night out. At the time of the World Cup game, a petition urging this memorial had gained more than 5,000 signatures.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the England squad just didn\u2019t see this? But their manager, Thomas Tuchel, and Prince William, patron and former president of England\u2019s Football Association (FA), must surely have seen a pair of open letters sent to them by Wendy Louise of the group Together For the Children, asking them to remember Henry pitch-side. She also provided the group\u2019s numerous followers with the relevant royal and FA email address contact details to ask the same favor, and some followers appear to have made good use of them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also writing to Prince William, Tuchel, and the FA was Jeff Banks, a prominent English fashion designer and former BBC TV presenter, who had previously created official outfits for the England soccer team itself. Sadly, the football authorities\u2019 response to all such public requests seems to have been Sweet FA (that\u2019s British English for \u201cJack Squat\u201d). Why did they all apparently refuse to respond?<\/p>\n

Football Focus<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Perhaps the FA read all these petitions, letters, and emails after all. A mere day before the England-Croatia game, the FA put out a statement abruptly announcing it was now their official policy that the national team should avoid all ideological controversies and message-making whatsoever, it being their sole responsibility to stay \u201cfocused purely on the football,\u201d not politics. Excellent. I quite agree. In any ordinary circumstances, sports teams should not be advocating for partisan causes of any<\/em> kind on the field, not even irreproachable ones like that of ensuring justice for Henry Nowak. They should just be playing sports, nothing more, nothing less.<\/p>\n

Yet exactly as with the Giants players being pressured to wear \u201cpride\u201d caps but simultaneously being banned from writing Bible verses on them, so the England soccer team itself has had some visible past double-standards on the matter of celebrating people who have died during arrests of a racially tinged nature. Before their opening game against Iran in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the team\u2019s then-manager, the notoriously woke Gareth Southgate, boasted that his team would be taking the knee on the field in the name of George Floyd and so-called \u201canti-racism\u201d generally:<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s what we stand for as a team [i.e., cultural Marxism] and have done for a long period of time. \u2026 We feel this is the biggest [thing], and we think it\u2019s a strong statement that will go around the world for young people, in particular, to see that inclusivity is very important.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This stance annoyed plenty of English people at the time, and memories of the whole propaganda exercise lingered \u2014 only to resurface when news spread that, come World Cup 2026, the very same team was now refusing to bend down in supplication for an innocent white English victim in the precise same way it once had quite happily done for a black foreign criminal. As a result, outraged posts like these soon proliferated online:<\/p>\n

In Liew of the Truth<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Angry English protesters have been far more obliging, taking the knee for Nowak in several public street gatherings. As some protesters were soccer fans and spent part of their time singing popular stadium chants (particularly an obscene one about the hated Starmer), media commentators such as sports writer Jonathan Liew, of leftist U.K. broadsheet The Guardian, were enlisted to dubiously portray them all as drunken thugs:<\/p>\n

Black Lives Matter \u201cprotesters\u201d once looked like they were \u201chaving fun\u201d too, back in 2020 when they looted shops, smashed cars, and burned down buildings. But The Guardian never reported on such \u201cfiery but mostly peaceful\u201d protests in a similarly disapproving fashion then. \u201cThe distinctions between the human and the [social media] content, the grief and the grift, have long since dissolved into one and the same thing\u201d at such gatherings, complained Liew. Oh yes, that never once<\/em> happened with the whole George Floyd thing, did it?<\/p>\n

As well as a two-tier criminal justice system, a two-tier government, and a two-tier media, it appears England is now burdened with a two-tier national soccer team too. The England squad may play in<\/em> whites, but they certainly don\u2019t play for<\/em> them anymore. And they absolutely, definitely, don\u2019t kneel for them.<\/p>\n
