Notice the empty seats. Gonna be harder to fill them when the players inject themselves into politics.

Standing is not respecting the flag. Plenty of people stand for the flag who despise the things the flag stands for, like freedom of speech, expression, to have a different opinion. They care more about the symbol than they do about the nation.
Kneeling is not disrespecting the flag. When the whole thing started, Kapernick (who i think is a bad player and a self-righteous rear) went to a series of veterans and asked them what he could do to make a statement while still respecting the flag. They suggested he kneel.
If you equate standing with respecting the flag, you are making a political statement. To the people who consistently whine about that, they are saying the only form of patriotic demonstration that counts is the one they themselves support. i can't think of anything less American than that.
