It's an affirmation of American values. I haven't researched this issue in depth....but the only Kap statement I've read I didn't really agree with. But I would've kneeled out there today because I support freedom of speech and expression. Especially nowadays with the misguided forms of protest like non-platforming rampant. Kap's kneel is a great example of how to protest without infringing on the rights of others. He's not grabbing the mic from the singer or blowing an airhorn. He's kneeling. And that's a very traditional American form of dissent that is the basis of modern society.

What Kap started IS American patriotism imo. I might not agree with the particularities of his statement....but I fully support him in every other way. And that's why I would've knelt today if I was out there.
