Your prerogative, same as the NFL owners. Nobody is stopping the owners from doing whatever they want.

In your current line of work, would your employer allow you to protest while on the clock? Or would your employer allow you to speak freely about any topic that may offend any aspect of their consumer base?

If I'm a business owner and my employee does something that would cause my company to lose customers, guess what I would fire them!


I run a small family business with about 35 to 40 employees. If anyone insists on expressing their political beliefs... 1st Warning, 2nd warning, then fired.

Which is TRUMPS point. The fact that the owners have not fired these players who are disrespecting Our Flag must mean that they approve of their behavior.


So frick the owners and frick the NFL!

I have never kneeled when we play the national anthem at the beginning of every workday.

So don't watch the NFL. Or basketball. Or movies or TV. Not until everyone agrees with you. Guess that leaves you with NASCAR.

Does it matter...they are representing their company during both.


It doesn't matter at all actually. Why you idiots keep pretending it does and shining a light on it is beyond me.

But you probably work pay check to pay check basically & probably easily replaceable.

Forbes magazine documented a player like Lebrons worth to the Cavs when it's value plummeted after he left & rose when he returned. (Rougly $500 million dollars).

No one pays to see the business owners.

If the players not standing are expressing political views, isn't this also true of those that do?

I watch shows in espanol. They still have conservative values and a macho culture. They haven't been infected with SJWs yet.

If by "protest" you mean sit out of a pledge of allegiance or something similar no one would be fired for that. Do yall even have jobs?

Respect the flag?
What does this mean?

What does the flag stand for?

Freedom maybe? Freedom to have and express an unpopular opinion?

What would happen to these players doing this under an oppressive regime? Would they suffer for expressing their discontent with the government?

Should our flag represent something different?

It's kind of incredible. The Poliboard hasn't mentioned jack shite about this in days, if not weeks, but one rant from Trump and these clowns are back at maximum rage.
