The inconvenience this is causing you must be keeping you awake at night.I don't have a problem with this at all, and it is correct that Kapernick took up the fight (at huge personal cost) by making a peaceful protest, that was hideously misrepresented by many in the states.
What I can live without is this now being a part of every single game of football to the point that it becomes routine and meaningless.
It should be done as part of a specific week or date, focussing on racial injustice and ideally should be included with meaningful action, community involvement, donation to certain groups or charities etc.
In my view, having it at the start of every game just waters down the protest to the point that people won't even notice it's happening or recognise what it's for.
It's a bit like wearing a poppy. People don't necessarily wear the poppy because they specifically want to commemorate the fallen, it's just something that's accepted and expected of them to the point that it's barely even recognised as an action of any consequence.
