It's people trying to use a false sense of patriotism to make themselves feel superior to others to win an argument rather than focusing on the actual message. How many times has a flag been brought out onto a football field in a horizontal position for some show being done? Did any of these people express outrage over the disrespect the flag was shown, there? I also don't even see anything about standing for the flag in this section of things that are disrespectful for the flag. Makes it seem even less like it's about the kneeling, doesn't it?

Exactly.  And civilians should stand at the position of attention while the National Anthem plays.  How can someone operate a television camera or the controls inside a broadcast van while standing at attention? It's impossible.  You can't do both at the same time.  Except I haven't heard anyone complain the networks are disrespecting the flag by not rendering honors by broadcasting the National Anthem.
