if you still dont understand or grasp why they are doing it, thats a you a problem
Here's the problem with your argument. I agree that, for many of the players, the objective of their protests is not to denigrate the country. However, you don't get to decide how your actions are perceived by others. If others view it as offensive to the country the fact that you disagree doesn't immediately render those opinions invalid.
