A couple of thoughts.
Really though, many folks see this as a workplace issue. Most cannot protest in their work place.
Kneeling is a better option than those who have chosen to sit on the bench.
Ultimately, it is up to the owners to strike a balance between their customers (the fans) and their employees (the players). Trump, IMO gave it more attention than it is really worth, although, did he do everyone a favor by forcing the conversation to a higher level?

Where were the protests by these guys during the off-season? They’ve had 9 months from the time the last regular season ended and this one began. Yet, none of these so-called protestors used the offseason to say anything or do anything. So, why now? It comes off as a bunch of millionaire millennials looking for attention.
Time to grow up. The NFL was where men played the game. Not seeing many men taking the field these days. If I wanted to watch boys play football I’ll start tuning in on Saturdays. I will say that the kids taking the field on Fridays show more class and maturity than the ‘professionals’ in the NFL.
So by your definition: "Men are people who entertain me without bothering me with their opinions." To me, men are people who stand up for what they believe in regardless of the consequences.
And people really have to stop with the "do something important" narrative. Many of these guys do a ton of work in their communities, a lot of which is done without publicity.
