The widespread criticism of Colin Kaepernick's heroic* protests demonstrate that it's not just about the flag but also about the songs. Some people even advocate eliminating free speech protection, and compelling people to stand and pray to the America songs, so people who otherwise may have some inclination to support property rights have transformed the issue into a new domain.
Speaking of Kaepernick, did you see that when he declared that he's a principled non-voter all hell broke loose?
(I say "heroic" up there, given his standing as a has-been football player who may have seen his last real payday... I can't think of very many sports figures willing to make that kind of risk)
