I don't see how they can be exactly the same.

In the case of "Redskins", the offended party is the group that is the mascot and that the slur describes.

In the case of anthem protests, the offended party is a group that is not directly involved in the anthem and only has a personal symbolic connection to the object that the anthem is about.
