The real concern should not be Nike's marketing campaign, but why in this great country so many people feel that the oppressions faced by minorities should be ignored.

Yep...you've hit on the crux of the issue.
It's a whole lot easier to try and change the narrative to one of faux patriotism...than to acknowledge the REAL reason for the protest(s).
And one only has to listen to the dog whistles of denigration when it comes to how some refer to the players themselves...to know what that real issue is.
Many studies have shown that younger generations are a lot less racist, bigoted & xenophobic than some older generation folks...and some people are just plain angry & scared about that.
Sometimes, a picture really is worth...a thousand words.
