No, it doesn't. Did you or any in support of his taking a knee also "take a knee" at home every time you saw him take a knee every time it was shown on tv? I doubt it. It is silly to think you/they would. It would demonstrate nothing.
It is also, imho, a mistake to think that everyone who feels that taking a knee was inappropriate at that time and place does not agree that there is racial bias in our country.
I, for one, understand him wanting to make a statement that racial bias is a problem, it is, but I believe using a form believed to show disrespect for, in this case, flag and country and all those of all races who served, fought and died for this country did more harm than good.
Many people, all on the same in this issue, had many different interpretations of what they saw. His intended message was lost. And rather than bring people together, it divided them.
