It's a losing issue for Trump. Ironically he has brought 100x more attention to the issue now, which basically renders Kapernick's point valid -- he wanted a peaceful way to bring attention to an issue, and he has done that.

I don't think the black community doesn't need to be lectured on military service or sacrifice from any other group ... a higher portion of black people serve in the military relative to population size than any other group I believe (of the main US demographics). Disrespecting the military is not what this is about, it's about bringing attention to an issue of police brutality in the US.
