    I'm inclined to agree with Juli, on principle It's when they say we mustn't do something that it becomes important to do it even if we wouldn't normally & take no pleasure in being provocative or wounding sensibilities. This argument is often made re drawing the prophet Muhammad.https://twitter.com/J_indetroit/status/1000345489462779904 …

    I never really thought about the anthem at games until players protested. But thinking today, an employer who brings patriotic displays into a workplace brings this on themselves. That they bowed to gov exec branch is worse. I’m with the players & hope they keep kneeling.

        Who's the "they" that's saying players can't kneel? Their employer, not the Govt. The product has a planned Nationalistic appeal - it's part of what they sell. Allowing employees to willfully damage the product is ridiculous.

        Freedom of speech is good. & Private entities have the right to demand adherence to their ethics. are two separate ethical issues which often coincide. I think we must uphold the latter but criticise it if doesn't support the spirit of the former. https://twitter.com/AvaDalley13/status/1000342097222873088 …

        Rules aren't ethics though. Athletes are playing a part - they need to stay somewhat in character - it's entertainment. Actors don't get to pick their costumes or their characters.

        I understand and support organisations asking their members/employed to avoid making political statements while at work. But if they *do* ask their members to make a statement, such as a display of patriotism, then people should be allowed to express their honest views candidly.

        I can't quite articulate my thoughts on the matter but it's something like these guys aren't just random employees either. They are celebrities with a personal brand protect. ???

        It's different than an average workplace. It's a media/entertainment company.

        The government demanded something, and a private employer bowed to them. Now they gloat and declare it a win.pic.twitter.com/UQOvSbmSVd
