        And what makes these civil rights groups think the NFL, a private enterprise, has any obligation to accommodate individual players personal political activism and allow them to hijack the NFL as a platform to do same? The short answer is the NFL has NO such obligation - period!

        They can freely protest when not at work. Like the other 100 hours of the week.

        I don’t give a damn how many it is. Point is they can do it outside the lines when not in uniform. (No, I was saying that for effect genius)

        So when they kneel outside the lines every Sunday it's ok? They don't kneel on the field.

        So it's ok for players and coaches to criticize on twitter and in interviews?

        So long as not on the clock, so be it. If they are at their place of employment, they have to follow the guidelines and standards set by their employer, like every other employee in this country.

        So can an employer squash your freedom of religion?

        Why not? Schools no longer require the Pledge of Allegiance or fly Our Nation's Flag!

        Yes, reverse the ruling about kneeling and replace it with flag burning. I’m sure that would make your anti American felon league players happy.
