To me, its all quite simple...
On one hand, he did nothing illegal, he didn't desecrate the flag or anything, broke no laws or team rules. We have brave soldiers fighting every day so that CK could exercise the right to do exactly what he did. I disagree with his methods, but again, he broke no law or rule.
On the other hand. He bit the hand that fed him. He took advantage of the inherent exposure that was afforded him by playing for the 49ers, and the NFL, to stage a personal protest that put all parties in a bad light. Stupid move in my opinion. You undermine your employers, you pay the consequences.
The funny thing is, the protest itself overshadowed the issue he was protesting. Thanks to ESPN, NFL Network, etc, most fans know that during the National Anthem he kneeled instead of stood, but many of those same fans couldn't tell you why. So, was it worth it?
