Any gesture before a game supporting the anti racism movement in sport is very welcome whether it be taking the knee or showing support through applause to the team taking it. Applause before a game is used for many things such as remembering a famous player now passed on or a gesture of appreciation to some long standing fan or club member. The knee represents the anti racism cause and therefore is unique to that and that is why it should stay and that’s why players who voluntarily take it should be applauded.
