Each and every member of an NFL team has an absolute right to lift his voice in protest about any injustice they like...
The catch is: they do not have the right to do that "on the job" unless their employer weakens and grants them that privilege while on-the-clock...
When I watch a football game, I do so as a form of escapism... pure entertainment, for the sake of entertainment...
I am NOT entertained by a gaggle of overpaid over-muscled pampered sports princesses barging into the space I paid for and playing Pretend-Social-Justice-Warrior...
I get enough of that $hit on the news channels... I don't need it in-my-face during a football game...
Now... screw your heads back on the right way... suck it up... shut your phukking mouths... show proper respect to our country, and do what I paid you to do... entertain me...
Any team-owner with balls would say something akin to: Fail to do that, and I'll fire your overpaid a$$ for breach of contract, and hire different warm bodies who will...
Fail to entertain me or find people who will, and I vote with my dollars; refusing to (a) purchase a ticket to one of your Campfire Girl pre-game shows or (b) watch your TV.
Full stop.
