There U.S. actually has a flag code that outlines things like this. Turns out, players kneeling during the anthem doesn't violate it.

A lot of people violate the flag etiquette, I see it all the time in my neighborhood. I don't say anything since I assume they have good intentions, though I have bought new flags for some people. I see it used in advertisement, "improperly" used on clothing and on disposable items. Most people have little idea about proper flag etiquette.

I personally don't see taking a knee as disrespect, it is availing themselves of a right the flag represents. Now putting on headphones and dancing or eating, drinking and talking through it (the latter I have seen a lot by people in the stands at events) that is disrespect.
