It is indeed their right to protest, but what shouldn't be lost is that the right to free speech does not equal the right to speech without consequences.
In this case, the consequences are at the the very least a world of shait thrown their way. At best, I hope Kaepernick never plays a down. As for me, if I saw his arse injured on a play I'd exercise my free speech right and stand and cheer.
Frick his sorry, worthless arse.
What we're your thoughts when Phil Robertson's comments jeopardized Duck Dynasty's place at TLC?

Are you trying to use an example of free speech having consequences as an argument against free speech having consequences?
Personally, I have never had any issues with anything Phil Robertson has said publicly. That doesn't mean TLC doesn't have the right to remove him from their programming if they do have a problem with the things he says.

Well, let's start with the fact that I've never watched Duck Dynasty. If you put all of them in a lineup, I couldn't tell you which was which.
Now, with that out of the way point me to where he or any of the others were disrespectful during the national anthem or at a similar display honoring the country. If they did, then I feel EXACTLY the same way towards them.
I'm not triggered over his stance. I disagree with his political position, but that's his right. It is his method that bothers me.
I'll give another example. There have been a number of athletes that have refused to meet with President Obama over political differences. I vehemently disagree with practically everything Obama stands for, but if ever afforded the chance to meet him now or any time in the future, I'd very humbly shake his hand and sincerely say "pleased to meet you Mr. President" because he's been the leader of my country for 8 years and deserves that respect regardless of my view on his leadership. Those athletes are just as wrong as Kaepernick.
