Kaepernick initially sat on the bench. After speaking with a Army veteran and Green Beret, he began to kneel to show genuflection to the flag and men who served while still showing his protest against the injustices he sees in society. So the style is done specifically to show respect while still protesting.

And having sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution, I can't think of anything that shows more respect for that oath than to exercise the rights my oath was made to protect.
