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.
It costs NFL franchises millions of dollars. The conversation basically starts and ends there. And Kaepernicks problem is that he isn't nearly good enough to make for the lost revenue so it makes it an easy decision for owners. You don't keep a low level employee whose personal life costs you money.
Personally, I don't really think it's all that disrespectful. My problem is that Kaepernick and Reid are just like most protesters in the sense that they don't really understand the issue they are protesting and don't offer any suggestions to help rectify the alleged problem they cannot explain. It's basically an exercise in moral masturbation.

They are calling attention to what they think is a problem. They don't claim to, nor should they be expected to, have a solution to the problem.
They are trying to keep a discussion about a possible solution (or at least working toward one) in the pubic eye.
