They are probably a better response than vigilante retaliation against the LEOs that abuse their authority and those that condone and excuse such acts and actors. Mebbe that direct approach would be more appropriate than disturbing the slumber of those unaffected that couldn't care less.

Like Trump, perhaps?
Police leaders across the country moved quickly to distance themselves from — or to outright condemn — President Trump’s statements about “roughing up” people who’ve been arrested.

What Whell is having a hard time grasping is that these athletes are protesting against his Dear Leader, a man he still admires, and Americans who think, act and talk like Trump. It must suck to know that a majority of Americans find his Dear Leader unfit for office. Some heavy cognitive dissonance going on - with every breath he claims not to be defending Trump as he reflexively defends Trump.
