All true, but it misses the central point. Your Dear Leader chose to intervene in the player-management relationship of a private business and, in doing so, threatened the livelihood of players while calling them SOB's. In effect, a fellow who sympathizes with White Supremacists challenged their manhood, integrity and livelihoods and they did what they felt they had to do in response to this provocation, resulting in a 2000% increase in the number of players taking a knee.
