When you choose the National Anthem and Flag moment for your "protest" --- and you don't explain EXACTLY what you are protesting --- don't blame the NATION and it's people for GUESSING what your protest is about.
That's what I mean when I say it's pretty useless and counterproductive to have a protest without SPEECH and organization. Don't expect folks to "read your minds" when your pissing on the whole country..
It's been explained. Those like you just didn't listen so instead you get misinformed by Trump. From the very beginning Kaepernick and Reid stated they were protesting against police killing unarmed backs and racial injustice. That is what the other players are protesting as well. But those who don't want to believe racism exists or want to look for anything other than racism for a reason, well, they probably didn't pay attention.
That's not clear at all. Hasn't been EXPRESSED. Many report it to be a sympathy protest for the NFL treatment of Kaepernick himself. WE DON'T KNOW. And Kaepernick ruined his cred by doing press ops in a Fidel Castro tee shirt. Which just fans the speculation about it being an anti-American gesture.
When you take that road --- SPEAK... Don't resort to theatrics.

He said this at the beginning. You just didn't want to listen.
