These players are respecting the flag and the country while still communicating that they repect these things despite the prejudice and unjust treatment they receive due to the color of their skin.

I sure hope it's way more than 1000's in Church.. IMHO we kneel in front of our God because we are not worthy to stand in his presence and we kneel in front of a King to show our subservience (meekness) and if they didn't they may get their heads removed.. When a hero comes home from battle we stand and applaud not kneel, when a person gives a great speech or and entertainer moves us in a positive way we rise to the occasion not kneel with our heads bowed.. We are standing out of respect showing our appreciation to the 1st line workers today for their work and bravery during this epidemic.. I stand and applaud out of respect, I kneel out of fear or compliance..
