Never forget that calls that protests and political expressions aren't happening "in the right venue" or "in the right way" only help one side.

Take for example NFL management telling the players not to kneel in solidarity. That is the players' most effective (and frankly, peaceful, and not particularly disruptive) way to send a message. But if you don't agree with their message, moving to shift it to a less visible place is absolutely a political attempt to neuter it.
