This has been discussed and analyzed ad nauseam, so let's not drag Mobile's nice statement into the gutter. You don't think kneeling during the anthem is appropriate, fine. No need to comment in this thread, I know your stance by now. But my second sentence is correct in the fact that he believed strongly in a subject, went out on a very shaky limb to point it out, and risked everything anyway. And lost.
Again, DM me if you disagree and need to tell me so... not looking to turn this into something else, like most threads lately.
What I like about Kylin's protest over Kap's is that he was actually asking for something, which means that the protest has an end point.
My problem with Kap's protest is he was just protesting to protest. There was no tangible goal.
If people want protests to be successful, then ask for something. It provides a purpose and end point for the protest. Even if what your asking for is a statistical change, ask for something measurable. You'll probably get it if your protest has merit.
