Deepertruth: What is "Racist" about Old Glory?

Recently I heard on Fox News that the U.S. women's national soccer team was leading other countries to disrespect the United States. Or rather other nations were joining them kneeling before their opening matches of the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday. This was after the International Olympic Committee relaxed their position on "acceptable" forms of protest?

All eleven starters to include those of the Swedish team protested the United States on the basis of "racism". They all dropped to one knee for ten seconds after they heard the whistle blow before the game was to begin. But in reality, they are protesting the National Anthem and the Flag.

So, what I want to know is where does anyone see racism in honoring the Flag, the Anthem, or the military?

Explain how this is racist?
