It doesn't matter a bit WHAT the players are protesting. The issue is that they do not have the right to protest for or against anything while "on the clock", wearing the uniforms provided by their employers, on the stage that their employer provides to present its product unless their employers agree to let them do so or support their efforts. If the NFL or by extension, the individual team that writes them their paycheck decides to either allow them to do so or actively supports them doing so, fine, then they have the right to do whatever their employer grants them the right to do while they're "on the clock". If their employer doesn't want them to do so, they can't. They are still perfectly within their rights to go stand on a streetcorner and protest to their hearts content, to whomever they can get to listen to them.
The NFL owners will be discussing this at their fall meeting this upcoming week, and they will make some sort of decision on the matter. I fully expect them to put a stop to it as it is beginning to negatively affect the one thing every business has as its first priority, their profits.
If I'm wrong, and the NFL or the owners of any specific team choose to allow it, or outright support it, then the protests will continue and it won't bother me a bit, as I rarely even watch football.
