Actually it was the other NFL fan upthread who said most of players are good patriots. But you agree right?
Nope, I don't agree. I have met several NFL players who were thugs and only one (among those I have met) who was a great guy. That one looks like a monster, talks like he never made it through high school, and was very clearly a good person/American/Christian, but he's in the minority. As far as I can tell, the majority of NFL players are thoroughly selfish and are indifferent to America - not patriots but not hostile. Plus, any real Americans who interfere can be injured on the field. I think it's too late for anyone to fix this.
I cannot imagine any appropriate pro-Anthem protest during our Anthem. The only appropriate and patriotic option would be standing with hand over heart, which some do out of pride, some do out of a desire not to offend fans, and some probably do out of habit. I don't think any other option would work, and a majority of players standing respectfully has not stopped the protest
