Should this article be framed around the 2016 gesture in sports, with the history being similar gestures that Kaepernick and Reid may have been aware of (but didn't mention?), or should it be written as how "taking the knee" began in prayer, was part of the 18th century abolitionist movement in Britain, led to Martin Luther King Jr knelt on a march, etc, and more recently saw Kaepernick popularising the gesture again in 2016? The latter implies that if you'd asked someone in 2015 what it meant to kneel in protest, they'd have told you it was an anti-racism gesture, and I'm not sure how much that's the case. -- Lord Belbury ( talk) 07:14, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

Belgium, Wales, England all did at all their Euro matches (as did most of their opponents); in fact starting in/ca. Oct 2020 even b4. ROI did so too in friendlies as didn't appear in the finals. GB women also did @ SO-Tokyo'20, I think. A simple www search would show these sources. Someone would eventually see fit to add them. 41.58.49.224 ( talk) 10:47, 2 June 2022 (UTC) Ps see here)
