Is it cat-cow stretch? is it the running man dance move?
No one knows yet. But what absolutely isn't in doubt is that a certain posture/move/gesture by professional sports men and women will be the ultimate solution to racism, the coaches just have to go back to the drawing board and work out what it is.
Entertain yourself with battling human nature by education if you like but by nature of being very good at kicking a ball these guys hold the key.

Cancel them, cancel them immediately!
How dare they eschew this public and performative display of virtue signaling. Another couple of kneels and I'm certain racism will have been stamped out for good.
Cunts.

You seem upset.
What point is it that you think you're actually making? I can't believe you intended to come across as such a Brexity gammon.

I was shunned from the local Parent Council for refusing to take the knee at the start of our July zoom conference.

"My only concern is if Italy decide to stand as well, when the game is about to start it looks like nothing is happening."
Personally, I really don't think that kneeling or not kneeling will affect the viewpoint of someone who posts racist comments aimed at players.

Racism is bad
There. I said.
As for these well-intentioned performative gestures, they are weak AF and unlikely to make any difference whatsoever. It’s an unoriginal, unscrutinised box ticking exercise, similar to the laughable “when the fun stops, stop” stickers that blend into the background of all the gambling adverts. As if that’s going to do anything to a hopelessly addicted gambler.
Saying that, more is being done by football clubs to make examples of fans who racially abuse players (both from the touchline, and on social media) so hopefully progress is being made. If ‘taking the knee’ is discontinued, will that be seen as a victory for racist cunts?

Of course it will, because it is actually that.
If the clubs banned everyone booing the knee then that would send an appropriate message, but football biz people are not very bright, evidently institutionally racist, so probably don't see anti-anti-racism for what it very obviously is, or at least cynically pretend not to recognise it when that's profitable.
I know someone who was actually affected by that gambling slogan to stop all kinds of harmful behaviour, btw. Simple slogans work, just look at the 52%.

The 52% were united by the simple slogan not converted by it
And you're right to bring that group of the population into this discussion, "it wasn't just racists that voted to leave europe...".
I assume a good deal of the people they hope to convert, counter-productively view this as having woke BS rammed down their throat and push them further away.

Anti-woke people are racists though.
Standing against racial equality is exactly what it appears to be.

I didn’t realise bending the kneei was against racism, I fully support them
I just thought they were kneeling because black people are lazy

Have you ever tried getting up from that position?
Nothing lazy about it, mate.
