Well thats only if youre stupid enough to believe protesting against violence towards Blacks has to result in the flag being disrespected.
It was not the flag for many. It was the disrespecting of the honor to the men and women in the military by players who thought only of themselves. That is what the NFL was promoting. Ironically, the military helps African Americans more then any player in any sport can because its real. It teaches. People learn and most become better citizens.

Anyone supporting the kneelers is an anti-american asshole.
Listen, I'm a retired U.S. Navy veteran, and free speech and peaceful protest doesn't bother me. Why? Because of the oath that I swore to that document. If I support the Constitution, I support the right to free speech and peaceful protest as well, even if I don't agree with it. Every year, we would have a week of training covering Navy Rights and Responsibilities, and the 1st Amendment was covered quite a bit when we were being taught about the Constitution.
You want to burn or stomp on a flag as your right to free speech? If you bought it with your own cash, go ahead, that is your right. But, understand, if I see you doing something like that I will respond with a bit of my own free speech, but I will not stop you, nor will I harm you or lay hands on you for exercising your rights that my fellow military members are protecting for you.
To tell you the truth, people who don't vote are pissing all over the military more than Kaepernick ever did. We of the military served so they would have the right to vote, and because they don't, they are the ones pissing on the military members.
