So regardless of what players say their intentions were, the act of intentionally disrespecting the flag is going to be viewed as disrespectful to those that served with that Flag on their uniforms. 

Well that's the fault of those not actually listening (EDIT - or caring) when those players specifically say what they are protesting. All the focus is on when/how rather than why.
Perhaps someone should propose a more effective way for these players to protest that will get as much or more attention than it's getting right now.
Until then, this is the best way these players have found to get their message across.
