Where else would they have an opportunity to protest and it draw attention to the issue? You can't do it during the game without it impacting the game. And after or before, probably just flip to commercials. Off the field? Nobody would see it.
Yes, because 3rd and long is the only other place or time a famous football player can kneel, raise a fist or bring awareness.
I think NBA players have shown how you can raise awareness without kneeling for the Anthem. Pretending that's their only option is kinda silly.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
