Would actually be ashamed to be a WBA fan if we got rid of a player because of their religious/political views

Did you feel that way when we sacked Anelka for his political gesture?

I'm starting to be ashamed to be a WBA fan due to the antics of some of the players whom have stirred up controversy for our Club.

There's a a very clear difference. Anelka's gesture had racist connotations and to do it was a choice made by him to be provocative. This incident has been 'stirred up' by the people who are choosing to be offended and the media, when McClean has actually been passive

Because you seem to be happy with his actions others are "choosing to be offended".  Of course McClean is provocative.

Did you watch the game Bomber? What about the other 95% of the anthem where he faced the flag with his teammates? Or are we just going to ignore this and focus on the 5 seconds where he bowed his head and prayed?

I watched the whole game and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary from any of the players during the anthem, so does one photo taken in a split second which was jumped on and exaggerated by the press mean we should sack him?

I can't quite make out the provocative nature of his actions below, can you help me?
