Thanks for putting many words in my mouth I never said.  Let me be clear for you.  Protesting during the National Anthem MUDDIES up their protest message.  How about this for you - protesting during the National Anthem LOSES their focus of the message they are protesting about.  Now there are so many messages being protested during the National Anthem, so much so that NONE of the messages (and certainly not Kap's original message) are getting into the minds of as many people as these players had hoped.  Now that Trump is involved the protests are going to be about hating Trump - so much for Kap's police brutality protest message.  Again, sure, go ahead and use your God-given right to protest during the National Anthem as long as you realize your message is not going to get the focus you want it to get.  It's never been about not being able to protest - protest all you want...it's the unfocused METHOD that is the problem.
