They do not kneel to "disrespect" anyone. They do it to draw attention to what they perceive as injustice.
Donald Trump spent his entire campaign claiming the United States had a lot of problems that need to be corrected. That is all these football players are saying. If what Kap was doing is disrespectful then Trumps entire campaign was based on disrespect.
Why did they choose the Anthem for their stage? If you don't believe it had something to do with the uproar it'd cause, you're not being honest.
Now why would it cause an uproar? The answer is that it is viewed as a disrespectful act.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
