Completely agree with you there, but you won't get too many people on your side.

Being able to have a dissenting or unpopular opinion and not have the fear of being arrested for it is the single most important idea that the United States stands for. I think we all are not a fan of what these players are doing, but it sure as shite isn't un American

Why is everybody so white hot obsessed that a lot of Americans DNGAF about the NFL any more ? It’s garbage now . I don’t like Bieber- nobody gaf. I don’t like the NFL and it’s a hate crime.

Which reminds me- game five of the World Series . Oh hell yes.

It’s not a first amendment right while ur at work. These players are at their Jobs . The 1st amendment doesn’t apply . If your boss tells u to stand u stand. You don’t have to but u also don’t have to keep the job .

It’s “un-American” in the form of patriotism. But it’s not illegal.

Like I’ve said before, I was in the marines for 8 years. I fought for the right of both sides to have an opinion, and having the opinion that these acts are not patriotic is my right as well.

The point of my post was that most people see it as un-American because of their patriotic views.

No argument. I specifically said if your owner allows it.

And maybe it’s semantics, but the first amendment does apply if it’s work. Your boss can fire you but he can’t have you arrested.

Personally if I were an owner and I met with my players about this I’d tell them you are not going to go out there and disrespect a majority of people that pay your salary. If you would like to talk about some activism that helps the stances you want to kneel for I would love to partner with you on that off the clock in a way that brings positive publicity to you and our organization.
