Because their bosses can fire them, too

They just choose not to, because those players are worth more to their bosses than you are to yours

It's not a tough concept

If you are an employee at will. These guys have employment contracts. Completely different kettle of fish.

I don't have a contract.

I don't have a union.

And I'm not a naturally gifted athlete that brings in millions of dollars.

I am easily replaceable.

That's why I can't protest at work if the boss says no.

It's good to see that the NFL is still keeping you guys up at night.

It's like they don't understand being outraged about a protest validates the protest. It would have vanished organically if it wasn't constantly in the news.

If I walked into work and staged some protest that my employer disagrees with, I would be reprimanded. If I continued to do it, I’d be fired.

I’m sure the same goes for all of you.

So the real argument against kneelers stems from your own self worthlessness. That's sad.

The players are unionized. Does the collective bargaining agreement they have allow these acts or not? It’s a contracts issue. Not an emotional one. I am so tired of all of this babbling about it. Look to the contracts.

Txtiger trying to play above the fray is simply a result of his sad lack of self-worth. You have something to offer, buddy. You don’t need to pursue your delusions to feel worthy.

They absolutely can. And they may get fired.

Let's see if the owners start firing star players.

Because there is no threat of being fired. That’s why.

This is a simple fact that seems to be lost on our President and his legion of followers.

What if the contract allows them to penalize the players?

They should do whatever they see fit to do. It's their business....not yours, and not mine.

Other than the player's union, who's defending them?

That worthless POS Roger Goodell for one. If that dipshit had a spine none of this would be an issue. He’s like the Anti-Pope of the NFL.

Here I have a better question, why do some government employees think they can have their own private email server and use that server to send and receive classified/SAP documents?

His regular presence in the NY court systems would tend to indicate that Trump has never felt particularly constrained by contracts.
