So the place where you’ve got 100% of your info. Lol you can’t make this stuff up.

Well I hate to burst your bubble, but yes the company where I am employed allows freedom of speech and to peacefully protest. Matter of fact, within our 27,000 employees we have Diversity Groups that goes into the community and help with a myriad of issues. Maybe we are a rarity, I'll let you decide that.
I’m talking about during the substance of your job, a regular working day. No employer would allow their people to make obvious and controversial political statements while they’re actually performing their job. That just doesn’t happen.
Of course there’s a time and place for that, just not on the job. And i’d guess a vast majority of employers agree.

Doing a regular work day, we are allowed to express ones belief. At my job, we are NOT retaliated against for standing for what you believe in. For instance, in some meetings I attend, they conduct the Pledge of Alligance, while some stand, others don't, while some put their hands over their hearts, you have others that don't, and at the end of the day, everyone walks away with respect and appreciation.

You see that's the problem. Why should it be controversial when you are abiding by the laws of the land (The Constitution).

Again, that depends on the LEADERSHIP. Just as those leaders that are opposed to it, they can also approve ones right to express their concerns and beliefs as long as it DOESN'T interfere with the job.

This is TRUE, but it doesn't mean it is RIGHT.

Let me settle this for ya douchie. If your my employee expressing your rights in the workplace and generally being a distraction from the work I'm paying you to do....you'd find yourself out on your arse in a heartbeat....then you and Kaep could be besties!

And it's across the board. I wouldn't want an employee wearing a MAGA hat, or an "I'm with Hillary" shirt, or a "Feel the Bern" button, etc. Of course people can have their own views, but employers typically don't want that going on at work. Too much of a distraction, when the employer is paying them to do a job. Can you discuss around the water cooler - of course. Just not over-the-top.
Time and place, my man. Time and place. And when you're on the job, you're on the employer's time and at the employer's place.

And how many employers require their workers to participate in standing for the National Anthem on a weekly basis?
You can not compare other workplaces to pro sports in this manner.

You are correct in a sense. BUT, the world is changing, those employers that are stuck in that particular mindset will be left behind in the dust.JMO

It only becomes a distraction if employees let it effect their performance.

You see, this is where the LEADERSHIP comes into play. For instance, the company I work for PAYS for every single employee to attend the Company's Convention every year, these are people at the very bottom of the totem pole all the way to the very top. Our CEO is the LEADER and he speaks at every single convention. With 27,000 employees this is held 3 times a year so that every single person can attend. From the janitor on up, everyone has a voice.
I guess that's why our CEO was recently named one of the Top 50 in America. Leadership starts at the TOP.

Sure will because it's not about race for me. I don't appreciate high paid athletes using the football field as their personal soap box for the political view of the day. This issue goes straight to my heart because I support law enforcement and the military. As in any occupation you have the few that are rogue and do illegal things. That doesn't make the crime "systemic". It's a crime like any other of it's kind. Murder is murder, stealing is stealing, etc. And, they should be punished for the crimes they commit, in fact more so as they are the protectors of society. I'm sure we'll see many of the players kneeling again because there will be too much guilt not too. But, I don't support it. Do this on your own dime, not at a game you are paid ridiculously to play. If this begins getting the attention it once did I'll just turn off the NFL like I did before. Without viewers, ratings, merchandise purchases and ticket sales the NFL will feel the financial backlash again. So, yes, I will not support Joe as a professional if he goes this route. He'll always be special for what he did at LSU, just like Eric Reid is to me. But, just as I don't support Eric as a pro, I won't support Joe. Just my opinion, fire away.....

Joe better keep his mouth shut. Cause all the entitled black atheletes will back stab him just like They did Brees.

No. Not until they start helping themselves and I don't mean by looting.

LSU fans already disown Reid Because of it, but will they do the same for their white championship QB?
Some will. Others will find excuses or say he seems genuine while Reid didn't or some other kooky racist bullshite like that.
