As private citizens football players are at liberty to engage in lawful, peaceful protest.maybe a hell of a lot of people dont appreciate politics being brought into sports.....Well, they figure it's best to completely avoid any perspectives that don't coincide with theirs.
That's the alternate universe.
It’s idiocy to suggest that football players should refrain from lawful, peaceful protest because others might object.
I disagree completely. Professional athletes perform their acts of physicality in front of paying crowds. And he who pays the piper gets to call the tune. If the promoter/owner has detected that the paying customers don't like a player's anti-american schtick isn't drawing in money, he can order him to change it under penalty of being fired.
Conducting a protest on the employer's premises and/or during work hours isn't protected by the Constitution.
