All this talk about the national anthem but not a peep about people waving around a confederate flag.

She's melting over Americans citizens exercising the right granted to them by the U.S. Constitution.

So raising arms against America is ok but not standing is an abomination.

Post for us where the 1st amendment grants protection from a private employer restricting a employees freedom of speech or ability to protest.

Tim Tebow, George W Bush and others have spoken at a local private Christian School of the last several years.
None of them did it for free. Most of these athletes don't do much for free.
Both Tebow and Bush have foundations and do work for charities. Not sure what the deal is with this local school, but was there any "charity" part of their appearance? And speaker fees for schools are usually donated by the speaker anyway.

Post where their employers said the couldn't engage in such activity. Let's start there.

No, lets stick with your original contention, You said it was a right granted by the constitution, just give us something to back up that statement.

Link?

Small Christian SChool on the Southside of Jacksonville florida in an area called Mandarin. It's not far from Wing it, Publix, CVS, Winn-Dixie, McDonalds, BP, Lowes. They are getting a new fieldhouse in a couple of years. The last fundraiser set aside money for that fieldhouse. They have a pretty good baseball team and football team for their size but would get crushed by Bolles.
Now, kindly, piss off.

If they are doing it as part of the heritage, and still honored American culture and traditions it has no bearing on their current allegiance. This goes for the German, the Mexican, the French, the Japanese, and the Confederate flag. I also have no problem with Native American culture and their symbols.

No, it would be a success if people were actually talking about what they are protesting. I think most people have no idea what the nfl is protesting.
Give it time. It will spread to college football next.
Fortunately players in CFB are in the locker room

Look, here is a spot that you can rent an NFL player to show up at your Childhood Cancer Charity Golf tournament.
I would assume this is outside the time already required contractually, is it not? And let ius not forget, the player is not required to do charity work unless he agrees to the admendment in his service contract.
I would also assume the costs cover travel and stay for the athlete, do they not?

Oddly enough the Confederate crowd is the most likely to balk at someone flying a Mexican flag over their house in America.
