SIR - The delayed Euro 2020 tournament resembles a victim of the Wraith in Stargate Atlantis. It's had the life sucked out of it by pandemic and politics.
Asking people to ignore the politics of taking the knee is like asking them to take the milk out of a latte.
Some people are shocked at those who boo. But there's a surprising amount of people in Britain that don't agree with burning the Cenotaph flag, removing Churchill's statues and fighting racism with counter-racism.
British football has been successful in the last 30 years riding the terraces of the stupid racist chanters almost to extinction. But there's a danger that the division being created by this overkill could increase tensions and undo some of the progress that has been made.
I condemn all the online abusers. But the key word here is "online".
