I can agree fully or in part with just about everything you say. I'll just add that for me and possibly for some of the protesting players, too, the flag is not symbolic of the federal government but of the entirety of the nation. I see players kneeling not as individuals saying FU Trump or FU McNair or FU police or FU Fifth Circuit US Court of Appeals (?), rather I see a united, positive-minded group of concerned citizens taking a submissive posture to urge that we collectively work to make our society better.
