This is false....Having elite athletes are a luxury, but they do not have to exist. Injuries happen and the games go on. Retirement happens and the game goes on. You look at a player like Aaron Rodgers. He is likely done for the season. Some team other than Green Bay will likely win the Super Bowl, but 5 years from now the record book will not say that Kansas City won the Super Bowl, but Rodgers didn't play after Week 6.

Quote: I still dont understand why people see this as disrespect instead of Individuals exercising their rights. I'd place more weight on the constitution and what it stands for (I.E Free Speech) as opposed to some song. (Quote)

I think this goes both ways. They do have the right to protest what they want to protest. Nobody is arresting them. Now on the other side of the coin. I equally have a right to boo, not show up or type my disagreement on a message board.
