Description: “Taking the knee” has been searched more than ever before. Football fan MistaJam explains whether or not it’s a political statement. The DJ, producer and broadcaster also tells us what it actually means. American Football player Colin Kaepernick started the movement in 2016, when he took a knee as a symbolic gesture in protest against racism. This year Footballers in England and other countries take the knee at the start of the games in support and solidarity of the Black Lives Matter movement and also in support and solidarity of an anti-racist movement.
