The bold is the point.

Guy kneeled.  When asked why he explained.  Media explodes with argument over whether kneeling was the right thing to do and here we are, to this day, with people saying they don't know why he kneeled, claiming they know the REAL reason he kneeled and all other kids of stories that have zero to do with the actual event.

And people are too lazy to go find out when they have a nice, comfortable bubble of information around them telling them they are right even when they are demonstrably wrong.

So if it failed it is not the fault of the protestors.  It is the fault of those who wanted to avoid the reason and spin it into something else.
