Lets all make an assumption that a % of people who take the knee in this manner are doing so with zero knowledge about what BLM actually stands for but instead are doing it as a kindly gesture of solidarity over issues of racism in general.

But perhaps this now causes real confusion and therefore it might be for the best if a new gesture is agreed upon which clears up any notion that this is political?

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

The gesture as you call it is already there. It called playing football together no matter what race. Far too much is spoken about race.

Exactly! Now can you tell this to SSN and Talksh1te please!

Not really - just asking that's all.
I wouldn't boo the players ever for doing it but I just do not believe it is achieving anything now that's all and I dislike being put in a box by people just for having a view - this particular issue makes those who disagree an easy target in my opinion.
Like I have said previously I have been educated on a couple of things since this all blew up earlier in the year that had never even occurred to me before so that is a good outcome - certainly for me anyway and I would never have classed myself as having any bias at all.

There’s also a big difference behind booing a gesture and disagreeing with the sentiment behind it.

True, but I choose to largely ignore your posts rather than actively boo them.
