        Maybe they should first consider banning teams from the league who forced cheerleaders to pose nude with some "high value" executives. Man, I'm so tired of this league.

        What about their 1st amendment rights?! Only applies to Confederate, Nazi loving racist’s? I would sue the NFL for infringing on my rights to free speech. Every single player should kneel in solidarity, hell every single person present should be kneeling.

        But, they don't. Including the players. y? The 1st amendment doesn't give you protection within a private business. Let's say u worked for a political group that agree with Kaep, but you disagreed and publicly voiced your opinion, even scolding your employers. What would happen?

        There is no law stating what you have to do during the national anthem. They are allowed to express their view however they like and business have no right to infringe upon that.

        Arguing semantics doesn't get your job back with a private employer. They don't have to stand, but their employer can tell them that they're not allowed demonstrate on the field, I.e., go to the locker room or tunnel. The Private employer controls the imagery of it's product.

        And my argument has nothing to do with semantics. It’s discusses individual rights, intent, and principle.

        I think it’s almost time for players to start boycotting. Every year the NFL is gonna try to take away their freedom using some strategic BS and the players are the backbone of the entire league. I think it is time 🕐🕑🕒🕓

        What does one thing have to do with the other. I know nothing of football. But kneeling shows a personal and private preference toward social issues. It has not a thing to do with sports. Men. Get a grip 🙈💙

        Maybe they all switch to join Jenkins and Long. It'll be a lot harder to pretend objecting to the protest isn't about racism then.pic.twitter.com/R9QoUJeIBG

        Jenkins is actually part of the problem. Look up how the @nfl used him.
