There is not a single reason to object to Kaepernick's protest. It was peaceful. It did not physically or mentally harm anyone.
What really gets me though, is that so many people are throwing the members of the armed forces into the mix and saying "but look what they do for us! You're disrespecting them!" He didn't disrespect our troops. To make that point clear, here is a collection of posts that veterans have made in regards to Kaepernick's protest.

Let's start this collection off with someone who appears to be PROUD of Kaepernick for his peaceful protest. The reason Kaepernick protested is that our nation is not as great as it could be and he believes that it has the capability of being that great. We should, instead of hating him for his protest, be trying to turn our nation into the great nation it should be.

This post makes a GREAT point. It is, as American citizens, our first amendment right to protest peacefully. It is Kaepernick's right just as much as it is anyone else's. If the people with their fifty signs marching back and forth yelling at women going into Planned Parenthood are okay with their protest, so is Kaepernick.

This one is so important for people to see. Our troops serve to protect our freedoms. They serve to protect our right to free speech (which is what allows so many to trash talk Kaepernick) AND our right to protest which is what Kaepernick was exercising. I really don't understand why it's that big of a deal.

This post, in what I would guess is a response to everyone burning their Kaepernick jerseys, is spot on. So many people have a problem with the police brutality issue our nation faces (yes it's an actual thing, but another topic on its own). This veteran happens to be on Kaepernick's side.
I've seen so many great posts by veterans calling people out for using our troops as an excuse to bash Kaepernick, but our troops fought for his right to protest and even if they don't agree with what he's protesting about, they agree that it IS his right.
So honestly, it's time we all just took a chill pill about it and look at what he was protesting about instead of trash talking him for protesting.
