Juice chose not to kneel in protest...he shares the same rights as those who felt the need to kneel in protest, without fear of public outcry...it works both ways and should be tolerant as such...As a veteran, that is what the 1st Amendment is all about.
As a vet myself, you are wrong. They have the right to protest. They don't have the right to not have a negative response. The NFL is a business and if their actions affect their bottom line they have the right to penalize them any way they see fit. Does the NFL fine or suspend players for what they wear, say or how they act? If it affects their image or bottom line they act within their rights.

You are 100% correct... There is always a fear of consequences from any form of protest. Owners have the right to support their employees or not as well...At which time protesting citizens have to decide to continue or not.

99% are overall good guys.
The fact is the NFL has a huge issue with the Hernandez situation to worry about. Sounds like the Saints targeting all over again except this time it is the Pats.
Here is my feeling about why we saw what we saw:
That dumb tweet by someone who never served and openly admits using bankruptcy to get out of paying his debts, shows a lack of respect for The Office of the President of he United States.
Yet, if I was still capable of serving and he said to go to war, I would willingly make that sacrifice without hesitation.
