A big problem is that the "fans" have no clue what is being protested. Worse yet is that people like trump, his followers, or the so-call patriots in this country have narrowed meaning of the flag/national anthem down either freedom (broadly defined), the military, and now law enforcement or first responders. So how the fuck can any murrican protest that?
The pledge of allegiance ends with "with liberty and justice for all".
Can anyone honestly say that everyone in this country lives with equal amounts of liberty and justice? That is what Kaepernick's was protesting, and it was never about himself (the so-called spoiled rich man playing a game).
A true patriot keeps their country honest by being critical when its fucking up and not living up to its tenets. Blind devotion is small minded and dangerous.
