Ideally, it's not about either. It goes back to decades of peaceful protests. to draw attention to social issues (in this case, a supposedly disproportionate amount of unarmed black males shot by law enforcement). Not taking the back seat on the bus, crossing school lines, etc.

But... spinners made it all about the military and subpar NFL players because that's easier to address.
