Really, you think that all those people boycotting the NFL, and getting upset, are because of the message they where trying to send. I don't see anyone talking about over aggressive and over bearing cops from the kneeling. They talk about a bunch of rich boys who haven't got a clue, disrespecting the flag and the country (and what it stands for). Now if the goal was to piss a bunch of people off, then you can consider that a success. If it was to call attention to abusive cops, I think they could do better.
Setting out a season, and not collecting a pay check might bring people to notice (no for Kapernick though) Either that, or they would find out they are replaceable. Or you could take out television ads promoting the message. There are a number of ways, that could be more effective.
