They are, and always have been, showing support for a cause which ‘decries racism and inequality’. I very much doubt that the majority of those who see fit to boo could distinguish between the two and I’d also suggest that same majority actually do have a racist agenda.

Out of interest, and without any hint at all of accusation, how would/will you react in a full stadium. Would/will you boo, take little notice, or observe with dignified respect as is often the tradition in football grounds at times of crisis/disaster?
For ‘the knee’ I’d stand silently, offering neither support nor opposition. I know exactly where I stand on equality and feel no need to virtue signal it. Respecting the fallen is an entirely different matter, I even observe them at home when they are on telly and I’m aware as I’m sure you are that such respect is for all who might have suffered no matter what the race creed or colour. Regrettably there is a small but vocal minority who either don’t see or don’t accept such nuances
