Not sure why the Right would want to be as intolerant to opposing views as the Regressive Left.
You have no freedom of speech at work.

We could just live and let live, allow people to express themselves as long as it doesn't (really) affect us. Being "offended" doesn't count.You have no freedom of speech at work.Not sure why the Right would want to be as intolerant to opposing views as the Regressive Left.
I'm extremely consistent, and no more so than this topic.Putting limits on freedom of expression is something the Regressives do too.Not sure why the Right would want to be as intolerant to opposing views as the Regressive Left.
There should be no tolerance for opposing views using the forum of the national anthem.
Protest by not showing up to play the game. I bet that will make for some good headlines!
The hypocrisy of the NFL is also on display. Want to wear a message on your headband? Oh, no! We cannot allow that because our advertisers pay us to wear their stuff!
Want to show disrespect for our nation during the national anthem? Go right ahead. That's a freedom of speech issue.
It seems like there's always an excuse for shutting down opposing speech.
.
I am unsure (as per usual) as to your position. You talk circles around a topic. Are you saying that preventing someone from protesting at their job is shutting down opposing speech? If that is the case, go talk to your boss and see if they agree!
I believe in freedom of expression. If they want to make this "statement", let them. Disagree with them, great. But trying to punish them in some way for doing it is not exactly going to change their mind.
Does the shutting down of a conservative from speaking at a college change your mind? Nope. In fact, it probably makes you even more resolute on that topic.
This ain't complicated for me. If I see a problem, I want to fix it, not make it worse. Screaming at each other and trying to shut each other up only makes it worse.

Okay, where is the rule on that? Is it in the Constitution?Protesting the national anthem by disrespect at an NFL game, NBA, game, NHL game, Little League, Pop Warner league, etc. is unacceptable.
Shut up or we toss cotton at you.And if USA won't tolerate Trump's snowflake brigades trying to steal valor from the military to justify bigotry? What then? I mean, you've stooped low before, but this is kind of a new low for you.
No matter. This will all fade in a week, when the Trumpflakes get their orders to get poutraged over something new. In the meantime, Kaepernick is a national hero, the issue of police brutality is front and center again, and Trump looks even more petty, weak and immoral. Liberals are pleased with that outcome, and we thank you for helping make it happen.

Who said I want to change their mind? They can protest after the game anytime they want. It is not the protest. Everyone has that right and the right to prove themselves stupid beyond any doubt.
If they want to peacefully protest outside a police headquarters if that is stuck in their craw, great! If they want to march down a city street, go for it! If they want to dress up as pussies and walk down the National Mall, more power to them!
Protesting the national anthem by disrespect at an NFL game, NBA, game, NHL game, Little League, Pop Warner league, etc. is unacceptable. They are playing a game,. Protests have no place.
I want to see all the liberals crying when teams start protesting by kneeling at the 50 yard-line and holding a prayer. Then we can say, "Hey, you started it!"
I think you miss the entire point. no one has ever said they don't have a right to do what they do. But everyone has a right not to like what they do. And voice an opinion about it. why are you against opposition comment? I don't get your infantile position in that. BTW, it would be nice if they actually did care about something, like playing fking football and win games and be successful. If they wish to be a professional protester go for it, hang up the cleats and go. again, no one is saying they ain't got a right, but maybe it makes more sense to let everyone know what it is you're against and how it pertains to the event about to be played. just saying.I'm extremely consistent, and no more so than this topic.Putting limits on freedom of expression is something the Regressives do too.Not sure why the Right would want to be as intolerant to opposing views as the Regressive Left.

Credit Trump for the increase in players protesting the National Anthem

I'm still trying to get my head around what offended them so by Trump's words.
Oh my.

If you read the 1st Amendment, it only mentions Congress righting laws. Since they have not limited their speech by law, why can't their employer limit their speech?
You libs just don't get it.
As libs often say when conservatives complain about free speech issues, you have freedom of speech, but you do not have freedom from consequences of that speech.
