本文探讨了对“2020年欧洲杯”期间“膝盖”抗议活动的在线批评，探讨了如何通过社交媒体平台Twitter构建和传播另类和极右翼阴谋。通过对国际足球锦标赛期间另类右翼阴谋的新颖探索，对与2020年欧洲杯相关的1，388条原始推文进行了定性主题分析。调查结果揭示了在批评“沃克主义”和黑人生命物质运动时，对“膝盖”抗议的反白人批评如何卷入了另类右翼阴谋，这些阴谋暴露了一个假定的文化马克思主义者，“唤醒议程”在锦标赛的组织和主流媒体报道中。总之，它认为，阴谋话语，与替代权，提供了一个框架，通过它的抗议可以理解。这强调了阴谋的重要性如何促进另类右翼意识形态在流行文化背景（如体育）中的更广泛传播。
Exploring online criticisms of the “take the knee” protest during “Euro 2020”, this article examines how alt- and far-right conspiracies were both constructed and communicated via the social media platform, Twitter. By providing a novel exploration of alt-right conspiracies during an international football tournament, a qualitative thematic analysis of 1,388 original tweets relating to Euro 2020 was undertaken. The findings reveal how, in criticisms levelled at both “wokeism” and the Black Lives Matter movement, anti-white criticisms of the “take the knee” protest were embroiled in alt-right conspiracies that exposed an assumed Cultural Marxist, “woke agenda” in the tournament’s organisation and mainstream media coverage. In conclusion, it is argued that conspiratorial discourses, associated with the alt-right, provided a framework through which the protest could be understood. This emphasises how the significance of conspiracy functions to promote the wider dissemination of alt-right ideology across popular cultural contexts, such as sport.
