A couple players decided to peacefully protest. It got reported. That should have been the end of it and the issue they were protesting would’ve gone largely ubdiscussed by the end of the season, like most peaceful protests.
The alt right politicized the situation to gain support. “Hey, look, these overpaid athletes are disrespecting our military!” And from there it became a ridiculous political issue where people are reacting to how they feel overall about issues instead of the issues themselves.
Even then, the clamor seemed to die down towards the end of the season until Trump decided to open his fat mouth and insert his opinion where it wasn't needed nor wanted.
