And it’s continuing to divide people.
Argentinian referee takes the knee before Scotland's match against Croatia but NO players follow his lead - as England perform the anti-racism gesture against Czechs who stay standing and refuse to take the knee.

Wednesday 23rd June 2021
The vast majority of the Countries at this years Euros have refused to take the knee.
Scotland refused to take the knee at two of their three games and only took the knee v England after being asked by the English FA.
Many EFL clubs will next season not be taking the knee anymore and Brentford are the first Premier League who will not be taking it.
Fernando Andres Rapallini is the first non-European official in the Euros this year
The Argentinian dropped down on one leg ahead of kick off after he blew whistle
But he was left in the lurch as footballers from national sides remained standing
Meanwhile England team continued their anti-racism gesture before their game
But the opponents remained on their feet during the brief move ahead of kick off
An Argentinian referee has taken the knee ahead of Scotland's clash with Croatia - despite no players following his lead.
Fernando Andres Rapallini, the first non-European official in the Euros, dropped down on one leg ahead of kick off.
But he was left in the lurch as footballers from both national sides remained standing at Hampden Park.
Meanwhile the England team continued their anti-racism gesture before the match against the Czech Republic.
But their opponents remained on their feet during the brief move ahead of kick off at Wembley.

I thought this is what people wanted? Players and officials to make their own choices, no?
Clearly UEFA haven't asked the officials to kneel but this ref decided to so so of his own accord.

It’s making a divide and has no place in football.
Football is about football not having to see this every match and as you see a divide .

what people ? those opposed to this taking the knee have pointed out that its clearly not personal choice....but that is not the same thing as wanting any political gestures.... personal choice or not..
