It doesnt? What does it represent then?
It represents the Black Lives Matter movement imported from the United States, which is a political movement, not an "anti-racism" movement. UEFA already have their own anti-racism movement and it's called "say no to racism".

Also not to mention, kneeling should be something reserved for God only, which directly goes against the values of some players.

But Gareth Southgate said the England team's actions were not in support of the Black Lives Matter organisation. He said: "We have got a situation where some people seem to think it is a political stand that they don't agree with. That is not the reason the players are doing it. We are supporting each other."

And yet only Zaha has refused to take the knee, due to him believing its a hollow statement.

Ive no issue if people dont want to kneel, but to boo those that do is only something that a racist would do.

And also, how can people kneel to God if he isnt real?
 
Gives Southgate a chance to show what a useless manager he is I suppose.
1-0 up at ht against Croatia lost the WC semi final. 1-0 inside two mins didn’t have a shot on target the rest of that game. Any decent manager would have fit us over the line in those games. Southgate’s CV is not worthy of holding such a position.

I don't agree with booing either. I think it's wrong but at the same time, I have an issue with people who seem to equate the BLM movement and the whole kneeling thing to racism movement. The situation is much more complicated than what it appears.

I also find this whole kneeling this very half-arsed attempt by the British to try to virtue-signal. If England truly believe there is a racism issue, why can't they kneel during the English anthem instead of kneeling before kickoff? The USWNT knelt during the anthem for a whole year, and it takes incredible balls to do it. Megan Rapinoe knelt during the anthem before the whole George Floyd incident even took place.

How can people kneel to God if he isn't real? Well that's your faith but you can't make that decision for everybody. Everybody has their relationship with their faith in different ways.
