You can perceive it that way but that doesn’t make it true. The gesture was started by someone wanting to use their high profile position to make a stance against racial injustice not in support of an organisation. While the two have been linked at times, which is more likely to do with a catchy slogan than any political agenda, which is different from country to country. Sportsman as far as I’m aware state the gesture has no political agenda to them and it is in-line with its conception as people using a high profile position to make a stance against continued racial injustice.
Exactly right Winslow. What else would people like to see the players do as a gesture against racism?;
Round of applause.
Stand on their head.
Clenched fist salute.
Combination of all 3.
