When Kaepernick first protested, he sat during the national anthem. He was told that was disrespectful, so he said he would kneel for the anthem, so as not to be disrespectful of military veterans.
You think that kneeing for the anthem shows that the players don't appreciate their country or those who have died in uniform.
He's at work.
In front of his employer's customers.
That this is even a thing shows how insane regular people are about idolizing sports people.
A bunch of regular people who KNOW they can't do this shite at their own jobs feel bad for millionaires who play a game not being allowed to do it on their job.

I get the perspective of the protesting at work thing, but I'm not sure that comparing a pro athlete demonstrating on TV to John Q. Employee works as good of an analogy as it seems.
Also, not all of the team owners, who are the players employers, are against the demonstrations.
