It's a screen shot of a screen shot. No denial from the person who wrote the memo "msl" yet.
Just seems odd to put it out and not publicize it like the Kenner facebook does everything else. Especially since there was a 'Hurricane' situation going on at the time this memo was being sent.

the right to protest
That doesn't exist when you're working for a private employer like the NFL or its team owners.

Just exercising his constitutional rights. And in fact smartly demonstrating how Kaeps protest and his protest have little to do with the intended objective
Brilliant

Except that isn't true. I think it was Mike Wallace that years ago got a worker to sneak in a camera to a Nike sweet shop in Vietnam. They showed how they locked the workers in and beat them with shoes if they missed quotas. Poor girl probably got Clinton'd after it aired.

Well that's just dumb. So Kap can have an opinion illustrated through protests, but nobody else can have an opinion and voice their displeasure though free speech without being labeled "anti-American"?
Me thinks you and I have different ideas as to what is valuable as an American. I defend Kap's right to protest AND I also defend others rights to criticize his protest. Freedom...yup - that's the America that my military service was centered around. Limousine liberals and their verbal/written drive-bys attacking freedom are offensive to me, but have at it cap. To me, by you and your ilk doing so, you expose yourselves to the world.
Freedom is beautiful.

I disagree. Now if you had stated that choosing to exercise that right may result in termination from a private comlany...cool beans. The right to protest, however, most definitely exists.

Let's imagine that I want to bring awareness to testicular cancer. Let's also imagine that I choose an unorthodox way of bringing awareness.
Imagine one day if I walk up to you and kick you in the nuts so I can up your awareness to testicular cancer. Do you agree with 100% of what I'm doing? Or do you disagree with the delivery but think the message is ok.

You are 100% correct but the NFL is letting them exercise this right.

When this all started I thought it was completely stupid. I didn't really care, but when he originally started doing it... It just so happened to be a time when there was talk that he wanted to be cut by SF. He had one more year on his contract. Early that year, he made comments about not wanting to play for Chip Kelly. All of a sudden, he just up and decides to "protest" the 3rd preseason game (when teams start cutting down the roster).
I am assuming, but it all seemed to happen in sequence. I remember former players were saying "If he was the started and wanted to be the started, he wouldn't have time to worry about anything other than working to get the starting position", but we live in a world now, where people look for opportunities to exploit situations and blow them up for self gain. So this became bigger.
Think about black lives matter. When did we hear about them the most? The two years building up to the presidential election. After the election, all of a sudden they were not the "force" they were.
If players kneel before the anthem and no one said anything about it and it was talked about in the media, no one would think twice about it. It just became an opportunity for political gain.
If anything, that within itself is what people should really put their energy into focusing on. People, in government or in powerful positions, controlling the narrative of events in order to gain their loyalty (support).

So theoretically the government could be paying more for a non-Nike product because the mayor is butthurt?

Yup.
What a true conservative... using government money to make a political statement.
