You want to alter the Anthem ceremony itself as your form of protest.
There is a Solemn element to the National Anthem ceremony itself that is just as important as the singing of the song.
Formal, dignified and characterized by deep sincerity. A serious moment of silence and respect for what the Anthem ceremony represents.
You want people to give up that Solemnness portion of the Ceremony to allow for Protests which can end up being for any cause imaginable over time.
You in effect say, allow us to Alter your historical ceremony by drawing attention to ourselves and our cause as we Kneel.
Knowing full well that the act of Kneeling is drawing attention because it flies in the face of the Solemnness aspect of the Anthem ceremony.
Next a player can "Peacefully" start Singing some other song at the top of his lungs during the Anthem song itself to draw attention to his cause and anyone that disagrees with that just has a problem with someone Peacefully protesting for racial equality.
Wise up...
