The thing is,the players have a right to protest. However, t's also a right to cut players who protest if that is the coaches' or owners' wish. I personally don't care if they protest. That's what they believe and it has nothing to do with me or what people have sacrificed to make sure they have the right to do that. They do have to live with the consequences of it though.

The whole things is out of control and I feel like the objective is hazy at best. The action changes nothing. I get it's your freedom to protest, you can do what you want, but if you really want to start a revolution to change the world then try taking the actual steps to start one. I promise not standing at a national anthem 16 times a year isn't going to get the ball rolling.

I understand an Americans right to protest (and defend it) but when you use your place of employment as a platform for your protest, as an employer, I have the right to show your *** the door or the bench.

What you didn't see on TV was many of the Cowboy players holding on to the flag.

If the choice is between players sitting for the anthem and idiots blocking traffic, I'll opt for the former.

I'prefer protests be done outside the stadium.

If this stuff continues in the stadium..

you are going to see fights start breaking out.

Look at what happens at the Trump Rallies.

The protestor are trying to be disruptive and get attention in a place that is not a political place.

Sports is a place where most of us are switching stations away from the latest news story for some enjoyment.

To see this stuff is another example of being too politically correct.

Don't like it.

Not quite the end of the thread, I'd like to add that Kaepernick has been paid almost 30 million dollars by the NFL (so far) and hasn't donated a dime to causes addressing the issue he is indicting the entire United States for.

How do you know that he hasn't donated anything? To whom would one donate for this particular cause? It's all well and good to say donate, but is there a group out there that you'd be sure would put your money to the intended use? I'm not defending him, mind you. I'm stating that we don't know what any given individual does or does not do unless there's proof.
