I think a lot of the time the players just go along. My relative is a professional Rugby player in the UK for a top team. He told me barely anyone supported taking the knee but it was just to much trouble to oppose it. Fines, getting dropped, not being able to represent your country. Remember these are mostly very young men.
They will do anything to prevent this from coming out and are using Pedowood, the media, and even authors to get the message out. For instance, I used to like reading a series of novels by an American ex-CIA author named Barry Eisler. He then started an amazing series about child sex trafficking and one of the abused girls becomes a Cop and tracks down the Pedos and kills them. All good clean fun, but the finale arrives when she uncovers a massive conspiracy of pedos infiltrating all levels of American life. The conclusion is don't identify any of them as psychologists are now saying its not good for the Victims to see their abusers as it triggers psychotic episodes. Don't for one minute think they won't use that to hide the degenerate bastards.
I think you are expecting a bit much to think the cunts covering up for these kid fuckers for decades will now do anything differently.
