I think his goal was to spur conversation, which he has done. Unfortunately, I think there are many who don't want to talk about the issue and try to pivot away from it. Claiming that he is anti military, that he is disrespecting the troops, that he is not active in his community (I personally don't know how active he is or isn't). I think it is easy to try to change the subject because it is a difficult one to have. Unfortunately, I think it is one that needs to take place with open minds.
As far as my opinion, I fully support him and what he is doing. I think more players should do it too. He is exercising in non-violent protest to raise awareness, it has successfully garnered attention, and has people talking!! While we are talking about it hopefully we talk about the injustices occurring in our country that is supposed to be the beacon of freedom and rights around the globe.
