Why some fans boo England players taking the knee
Some of those opposed to people taking the knee have been accused of being opposed to racial equality.Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha said he felt taking the knee was "degrading".it wants to focus on other ways of promoting racial equality, and another has said it feels the effect of the gesture has become "diluted".
Andrew, who is based in Lincoln, tells Radio 1 Newsbeat he booed to show his objection to what he sees as "an identity politics agenda that focuses on black people and skin colour, when as far as I am concerned we are all England fans regardless of colour".Other fans say the "political" gesture of taking the knee is detracting from the sport.Not all of those who oppose taking the knee are anonymous social media users.
The MP said he would be keeping his TV switched off up until the starting whistle of England's games, and during half-time, in protest at those taking the knee.Manager Gareth Southgate has pleaded with fans to stop jeering his team and says those booing "aren't understanding the message".will ignore any "adverse reaction""So ok for players to make a point, & fans aren't entitled too?" one said on Twitter.
Speaking after Sunday's game, goal-scorer Marcus Rashford said: "We believe it is the right thing to do so we will continue to do it."the best thing about the booing has been "the applause to drown it out".
