He simply refused to stand for the anthem and respectfully knelt (at first sat but then started kneeling after talking with veterans and asking what would be more respectful or something like that).

It's not that "simple" at all.

Just one example:

Those were worn during practice before he began kneeling:

"I wore these socks, in the past, because the rogue cops that are allowed to hold positions in police departments, not only put the community in danger, but also put the cops that have the right intentions in danger by creating an environment of tension and mistrust. I have two uncles and friends who are police officers and work to protect and serve ALL people. So before these socks, which were worn before I took my public stance, are used to distract from the real issues, I wanted to address this immediately."
