England players have set the ball very high now for equal rights and social acceptance of varying aspects of ones life, however, in next years World Cup, what they going to do in Qatar, where being gay is illegal?

They are exactly that, pointless and silly jestures.
I tune into [or attend] football matches to watch football, not watch stupid jestures.
Go and delete your social media accounts if you want to protest about the abuse on them.

Again, not related, apples/oranges .. but just to be clear, I would consider jestures at a football match against rape to be just as silly and pointless, its not the fault of football that rape or racism exist.
