A group of influential people use their platform to raise awareness to the inequality and racial issues that still exist in America today by protesting.  They all say they respect the military, love their country and want to make it a better place for eveyone.  

Unfortunately many Americans (like some here) don't want to hear any of this and instead focus on the protest they choose instead of the message they are sending and their reasons for doing so. What was supposed to be a positive movement to help America grow and progress has been turned into a a completely separate issue where people are claiming these players hate their country, hate the flag and hate the military. Based on what the players have done and said, nothing could be further from the truth.  

I know you guys like to talk about America as the land of the free and the greatest country out there but it isn't unfortunately and it won't be until you starting fixing the issues you have in the country at the moment. Its not even a democrat/republican thing , simply human rights.

They aren't "raising awareness." People are already very aware that inequality and racism exists. Some deny its existence but the protests aren't going to change any minds. And the protesters apparently are UNaware that nearly twice the percentage of white criminals are killed by the police than black criminals. Apparently they are also UNaware that more than half of the cops-shoot-blacks stories are left wing racist spin. Ideally the number of innocents shot by cops should be zero. That includes the greater percentage of non-black innocents shot by cops. The country is doing what it can to eliminate this but you can't always predict what a cop will do until it's too late.

The players who protest may claim they love their country and the military. But the result is that a player who protests during the National Anthem is blaming his country and insulting the military by his actions, whether or not it was the intent, to protest the actions of a few bad apples. The country in general and specifically the US military have nothing to do with the bad cops.
