        Matt, your piece was eloquently written. Still, why do you think it's "disrespectful" to kneel? Isn't flying the confederate flag more so?

        Consequences like America is forced to discuss systemic racism, that was the point.

        The executive branch of government is suggesting there should be punishments based on their interpretation of what is bad free speech.

        But hasn't the president just transformed kneeling into a protest against *him*? If so, there will be a lot more of it.

        The consequence shouldn't be the fucking President leading a full throated boycott.

        They don't have a right. NFL has regulated writing on towels, headbands (think Jim McMahon). NFL could shut this down if it wanted to.

        If you are worried about optics you can't get any worst than the President, but he has the right. Should he be doing what he's doing

        Publicly compelled displays of loyalty at entertainment events are not why people sign up.
