Problem was it did offend millions and the kneeling became bigger than the cause he was fighting for...

Kaepernick did it wrong. 

All he had to do was apologize and say he did not mean to offend veterans or the millions of Americans he was just protesting against police brutality. The truth is even if it was taken negatively he had capture the attention of the American people and with a simple apology he could have turned that negative publicity into a positive for his cause. Instead he continued to offend millions which cost him his job and future employment.
