I'm sure it's American in this context. I did do a bit of digging when the Kaepernick story came out.
I think what may have confused me is that I half-remember some US war film/TV set in the 1990s (Black Hawk Down? Jarhead? Generation Kill?) and there was a fair amount of taking the knee there while being briefed/resting.
So I was assuming it had come from military to sports, as there is fair amount of military influence in US sports (Veteran guests of hono(u)r, flyovers, etc) but perhaps the influence here is in the other direction.
I probably imagined the religious bit, or at least conflated it with the two-knees position.
