This just seems to be one of those cases where the outrage is being expressed to make ourselves feel better.  I need to post on facebook what a cowardly, ISIS-looking bastard hypocrite Kapernick is lest people think I'm not patriotic.  I think Kapernick is a dolt, but I've also spent the last 15 years watching a good portion of the American populace fellate itself over how hard it stands up for the Pledge of Allegiance, or how hard it claps when the latest round of recruits is ready to head off to the middle east.

I'm biased though because the people I know who are the most outraged at Kapernick's slight of America are the same ones who spent the last 8 years talking about what a communist shithole this place has become.  Patriotic, eh?

That ain't me homie.....a simple thank you suffices....or I'll buy you a drink but that's about it.  Those nut huggers are aggravating.

Or even take off their hats? This whole righteous indignation over a player's refusal to stand because it's "disrespectful" is hypocritical to say the least.

I think that's shit too.....and talk about hypocritical, a man of Krapernicks means does nothing of any significance to further his cause.....except don a Castro shirt as a shining beacon to "freedoms", and get in front of cameras.  Big. Deal.  He's just another dumbass like the people you are referring to.
