That's correct. "Taking a knee" is an acceptable strategic option that is always available to the offense.
"Giving up" is the concession of defeat, and is never an option for any NFL player or fan, unless there is no chance of victory (e.g., down 2+ scores; less than 30 seconds).
We didn't give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!
