He also intimated that he believes some white players could be feeling pressured to take a knee before games lest they be \u201cbranded racist,\u201d too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI took the decision because I felt that enough was enough,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lbc.co.uk\/news\/footballer-lyle-taylor-says-blm-is-marxist-and-that-he-will-no-longer-take-the-k\/\">said<\/a>, according to LBC, adding that \u201cnot enough people have looked into the organization that has kind of brought this all to the fore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said before that I agree with the message that black lives do matter and something needs to be done about that to actually teach the message that the racial inequality and the societal injustice needs to stop,\u201d Taylor said.<\/p>\n<p>The athlete continued: \u201cBut by the same token, we are hanging our hat on a Marxist group who are \u2026 looking to defund the police, they\u2019re looking to use societal unrest and racial unrest to push their\u00a0own political agenda, and that\u2019s not what black people are, we\u2019re not a token gesture or a thing to hang your movement on just because it\u2019s what\u2019s\u00a0powerful and what\u2019s going on at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In January, Taylor espoused similar criticisms of BLM, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-sun.com\/sport\/premier-league\/2117115\/lyle-taylor-blm-scandalous-knee\/\">according<\/a> to The Sun. \u201cI do not support Black Lives Matter as an institution, as an organization,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019d request anyone who blindly supports Black Lives Matter to have a look to what that organization does and what it stands for \u2014 because it\u2019s scandalous the fact that the whole world and the whole world\u2019s media got behind Black Lives Matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2021\/02\/20\/footballer-stop-taking-knee-brands-blm-marxist-group-pushing-racial-unrest\/\">According<\/a> to Breitbart News, Taylor\u2019s criticism of BLM is not the only times he\u2019s been \u201cpolitically incorrect.\u201d For example, the soccer player rejected the canceling of the term \u201cmixed race\u201d for \u201cdual heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have some people saying you can\u2019t say black. You can\u2019t say mixed race because it\u2019s now dual heritage. No, no. I\u2019m mixed race. My mum is white and my dad is black,\u201d he said, adding,\u00a0\u201cHe\u2019s black, not colored. My mum is white, not, I don\u2019t know, beige. The problem is the words we use and which words we can use. We get told you can\u2019t say certain words so often. I don\u2019t want to be called dual heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre we going the same way as people choosing their pronouns, saying I don\u2019t want to be called he or him, I want to be it or they or them. Are we maybe missing the point?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Premier League clubs\u2019 shirts had the Black Lives Matter slogan during the restarted 2019-20 season before they were changed to feature a patch promoting \u201cNo Room For Racism,\u201d the league\u2019s own anti-discrimination campaign, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lbc.co.uk\/news\/footballer-lyle-taylor-says-blm-is-marxist-and-that-he-will-no-longer-take-the-k\/\">reported<\/a>\u00a0LBC.<\/p>\n<p>LISTEN:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Black Lives Matter is a Marxist group, footballer Lyle Taylor says | LBC\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KGCh5lU2O5k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2021\/02\/20\/footballer-stop-taking-knee-brands-blm-marxist-group-pushing-racial-unrest\/\">H\/t<\/a> Breitbart News\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
