The problem with Kap isn't even that he's disrespecting the flag or anthem or Country if you want to take it that far. The problem is that it's being seen by the people, mostly on the right, that he's doing something really wrong to try and make a minor right. As far as the right is concerned, Kap could have done basically anything at this same level of negativity and it wouldn't change the way they see his protest.
Now Kaps point in a way is that he had to do something like this to gain enough media attention to get the message out to a large enough audience, but the people are saying he should have done it in another more tasteful way. Even if the problem was being suppressed and was bad enough that it required what he did, then they should have all been able to turn a blind eye to the wrongdoing and help make things right, but they haven't.
The fact that the people are mostly aware of the deeper meaning behind this, and still don't care, means the issue wasn't a big enough problem to warrant what he did. That's also not to say the issue is worthless either. This just makes the right even angrier when more players join and continue to kneel, instead of handling the reason for the protest in a different way after seeing they aren't making the progress they hoped to make.
