...and I've said I don't think those kneeling intend to disrespect the Troops, but I did ask you do you find it disrespectful; even though it's not the intent

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. 

Answer the question posed and then you may see.
