To even compare the two "responses" is just... alarming, though. One is a quiet gesture, the other is aggressive noise. One calls for racial equality, the other can't get to grips with what that means and reacts angrily to things they don't understand.

No moral comparison was being made. The footballers have a right to take the knee and some spectators have a right to show their disapproval.You don’t have to agree with peoples actions or opinions to believe they have the right to express them. Freedom of expression and freedom of speech (within the law or rules of a particular entity) are as vital to a democratic society as the right to strive for equality for all its citizens.
