The Fascinating part to me STILL isn't the kneeling

It's just that I've been alive a long time and seen a lot. But I've never seen a business not only accept, but encourage it's employees to basically express a giant "f*** off" to at least half its paying customers. I mean, even if the business largely agreed with its employees, never seen it.
And it's not a matter of the correctness or flaws in the view being expressed
But hey. Principles are principles and if they really feel they're right, ok. Do it and live with the business consequences.
But it's some sort of insanity to think you can tell people to f*** off and think those people should still use your product.
I would have been flat stunned if a bunch of NFL players openly expressed opposition to Obama or liberals in general while on company time. Cause. A huge portion of NFL fans are black. That would be dumb. I might agree with the players but i would be certain the NFL would say nyet.
Can you imagine a shoe company that sells basketball shoes running strongly pro cop commercials last year? That would have been unwise.
It's just weird to me that so many people don't get this.

Whining like children is going to continue to have the opposite effect you seem to desire.

It's not like we haven't been through this before.
Chris Jackson thought he was clever and thoughtful when he pulled this shite in the NBA like 15 years ago. The league suspended him, and worked out a deal where he would stand in respect but could close his eyes and pray. Why wouldn't that have worked now?

Yeah the owners should retaliate against people who complain about racial discrimination.

The "we're too big to fail" mentality. It's a lot more prevalent today than ever. It's primarily why customer service has gone to shite.

Leftists don’t get anything about running a business successfully.

There are many ways to create awareness without insulting the fans who paid money to watch you play a game.

The NFL is not a normal business. Their "employees" are pretty specialized and their fans are a dime a dozen.
Sorry your opinion doesn't matter to them. Maybe you need to lie down for a sec to regain your composure. Let me know if you need a night light, sweetheart.

if you were in the stadium would you be looking at the flag during the anthem? If not, why?

In the end business will, or at least should win.
While I don't like what's happening, and do understand they have the right to do whatever they want, I've been confused about their employers position on this. I suspect there is a morals clause in their contracts. But I also suspect there are some collective bargaining considerations also.
Capital being fungible, in the end, business will win.
