No one is denying anyone's right to protest - it's just WHEN and WHERE they protest - and who's paying to watch this fiasco when what they're paying to watch is football, not politics.
No one ever played football during the anthem. Teams have always either been in the locker room or the sidelines during the ceremony.

I didn't know you could "fire" a volunteer. So no, he's not out of a job. Which seems to be what a couple of you think.

But they knelt before the Anthem. So, again, he injected politics into my relaxation, and entertainment time. No, not going to watch. He can stand on his head, and spit wooden nickels before, after, or during the game, and I won't care, because I won't watch the NFL.
These guys are clueless about the real problems in Black society, or they just don't want to address them.
He doesn't want to stick around and be criticized for being an SJW.
