Not a single NFL player has stated that they are protesting the military. If you can find otherwise, I'll give you your point. If not, let's stop dwelling on what it isn't, and move it to something that it is:
You have no clue what you are talking about unless you are part of a group of people that are automatically treated as hostile at a higher rate when dealing with police officers.
To military members, Flag and service are pretty much synonymous. The flag represents the reasons they served.
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.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
