I guess you do not see the hypocrisy in respecting a point of view and than turning around and disrespecting it.  I can understand how you might fail to understand how military veterans who served the "United" States, many who had friends and family wounded or killed serving our country and symbolized by the flag and anthem, see the players protest as dividing instead of uniting. From "our" perspective people like you are the pawns of those who seek division instead of unity.

Today I was ashamed of our team.

Glad to see you're inside my head. It was getting lonely up there. The voices had laid off lately.

For what it's worth, I'm squarely in the "I don't care, now let me watch my game," camp. Players are free to kneel, and owners are free to fire them for kneeling. I have no particular interest in the protests beyond that, so if I am a pawn, I'm a really bad one.
