Players from Milwall and Derby were booed by Milwall fans as after taking a knee before the encounter. Photo / TwitterFans attending an English second-tier match between Millwall and Derby on Sunday jeered as players took a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Millwall fans embracing their long-awaited return to the stadium by ... booing their players — and Derby’s — for taking the knee. The topic of players taking a knee was discussed on a Millwall fans' forum this week and a statement from the first-team squad was published on the club's official website on Friday. It added that the gesture of taking a knee is, in the club's view, "in no way representative of any agreement with political messaging or ideology."
