So on the one hand people are saying
"minorities and Blacks are treated poorly" and protest during sport events which is when most people tune in.
Instead of some people going "okay wow I can't believe this is still an issue I need to support my fellow brothers and sisters"....what they really do is choose to focus on when the issue is protested.
It's like they do acknowledge that there is an issue but not only are they not willing to do anything about it, they also get triggered seeing someone else trying to do something about it. "yeah yeah yeah we get it you're treated like shit and killed off on a daily basis you sob's but stfu with your protests for a second I'm trying to enjoy the game".... Baffling.
Why does this issue has to be called political? It's a issue affecting humans. I would say it's a humans rights issue. When government officials gets away not once, or twice, or thrice but many different times for killing a minority or a black person that means the government endorses these activities.
...so the message I get from this as an outsider is.. A lot of people still hold very strong racist views and people that are saying "it's disrespectful to flag" are either racist themselves or really really ignorant.
