I believe that the situation creates the context in which the act is then interpreted. In the football stadium, the past practice has been to stand for the playing of the national anthem. Using that as the standard practice, kneeling is an act in opposition to standing in respect. In church, kneeling is a sign of respect and submission. To stand in that environment would be a statement in opposition. This is my serious interpretation to your serious question.
Perfect explanation. Was going to express the same opinion but not as eloquently.
