Paid entertainers be it LeBron or George Clooney need to understand they are little more than the organ grinders monkey, the music plays and they dance, no one cares what the monkey thinks about.
Ted Nugent, Sony Bono, etc. etc. etc. all say "hi."

The NFL will not suffer that much. It won't come to near the harm that MLB inflicted upon itself in the 1990's with the player's strike.

As a public figure, entertainer or whatever they want to classify themselves as, it is never a good idea to alienate a large % of your viewers. The owners at this point are just dumbasses for not stopping this, the league can't win this argument because it is a matter of patriotism and believe it or not a huge majority of the US population is still very patriotic.
Either keep the teams in the locker room for the anthem or tell them to stand, just don't disrespect the flag.

The National talk radio shows (even FOX) are telling me I shouldn't be concerned with the protest. I'm not sure what percentage of fans are fed up, but these players are well within their rights, and if I don't like it there's something wrong with me.

When you purchase a ticket to a NFL you do not expect a political outburst. When you attend a Stevie Wonder concert, you should know he will rant about 45.

Sometimes you can find your niche market and it works out.
I'm not sure the NFL wants to see how they work out as a purely niche progressive product, but I could be wrong.

Stop giving the NFL money!

$56 million might be "niche" compared to NFL money, but I'd hardly call it niche on the concert trail, lol...
Whatever happened with the Dixie Chicks, they're not hurting anymore...and eventually, neither will the NFL. Like I said elsewhere, NFL fans are a dime a dozen. When all is said and done, these outraged folks won't be as missed as they believe...

This. But don't tell the Drama Queens. They are getting great mileage from this.
The feeling seems to be that players have the right to action without consequence. That is just not the way life works.
Critics of the response are the first to say, if you don't like a TV show or an entertainer, change the channel. That seems to be what is happening.
Why then all the hand-wringing, complaint and derision?
