Glad you cleared that up, because I think people were about to start trampling on his rights over social media.

Just say what you think about his actions and words.

Freedom of speech means the government won't put him in jail. Doesn't affect NFL. I don't understand how this is ok but NFL micromanages things like cleat color and didn't let players where certain arm bands etc for other causes. Whatever, the NFL can do as it pleases but a little consistency might make people more understanding.

it's not even about the flag thing, which is sad.. but more about him stating black people are oppressed that is annoying. that shite is ridiculous and he should check out other countries.

The Flag and the National anthem are things that are important to Americans, no matter what your politics are, your color, or your financial standing. If you love America the Flag and the National Anthem are important to you. This has nothing to do with our government but everything to do with this country and its people
