Probably the best protest these well paid excellent athletes could do is go into high Black crime areas, without armed body guards and show unity with the poor, crime oppressed inhabitants of the 'Ghettos'. A high proportion of the worse crime cities are democratic run, and have been for decades. That would bring the spotlight squarely on to these depressed high crime areas and make the ruling elites (Dem. and Rep.) do something positive.  Funny how last year with Obama in charge it was just one guy kneeling, now with Trump as president it is a whole bunch of guys. Maybe it is all about politics and not oppression of Blacks?
