"Now is the right time to kneel" is very obviously implying that the players kneeling was not a worthy cause.

That is very explicitly a political opinion, thats why it has been interpreted as such. You could have easily made the same point without implying earlier kneeling was not worthy. You're just deluding yourself if you're trying to convince yourself it isn't.
