You'd be fine if the NFL creates a policy that they fire players for kneeling during the National Anthem and it's fine for them to do so?
Yes. Absolutely. They can go work somewhere else if they can't abide.
I worked for a governmental agency for 18 years that prohibited staff from having political bumper stickers on our cars. I didn't like it, but I agreed to abide by the terms of my employment.
According to a 2017 report from social media analysis company NewsWhip, conservative news organizations and commentators have done extremely well on Facebook. There are more than three times as many conservative publishers than liberal publishers on Facebook, and they receive more than 2.5 times the engagement on the social media platform than those who push opposing viewpoints.
"The organizations that are doing more sensationalist headlines are suffering on Facebook, but more conservative organizations like Breitbart and the Daily Wire have really passionate audiences who are sharing their content and that’s bearing out in the data," said Gabriele Boland, NewsWhip's manager of content strategy and communications.
NewsWhip data shows that Breitbart, the Independent Journal Review (IJR), TheBlaze, Daily Caller, Daily Wire and Gateway Pundit — all conservative outlets — get significant engagement returns through their use of Facebook, often dwarfing similar liberal sites.
Facebook is a little more(actually a lot) than mom and pops coffee shop
Facebook is the online equivalent of Starbucks. People gather to communicate. Each is a privately owned company. Each has its own Terms of Service. Each reserves the right to kick people out for violating the Terms of Service. You agree to it when you step into the door, either online or in person.

Facebook is not a monopoly. There are plenty of other places online for you to share information and spout your fake news. Have at it.

LOL, there you go again.
Actually Facebook, like any other private business, can ban whoever they want if the person in question does not follow the rules agreed to when using the business' services.

Gotta start somewhere. Facebook didn't instantly start out with millions of members.

Alex Jones has not been silenced. He has his own website, for God's sake. Are his lemmings too stupid to find him there?

Happens every day. What part of Terms of Service do you not understand?
Too many right wing trolls. Fox and the WH are the origin of the Fake News, Trump thinks if he cries Witchhunt his trolls will cry too. The press needs to quit covering all of this Traitors tweets. He is full of it anyway. Don’t we all know that by now? Wonder how much free air time this moron has gotten so far?

I'm not about to ignore the tweets of the most powerful man in the world. I find them amusing.
Alex Jones still has his free speech. He can have his own website and does. YouTube, Facebook and the like are more like megaphones. You aren't guaranteed one. They can take yours away because you agreed to a TOS.
They are not public squares even if they are now widely used, and it would require government involvement into a private business to make them into what y'all seem to want them to be.
And yes, even though I think it's quite strange to care so much about whether they kneel or not (and no, still not a liberal), the NFL can fine, fire or whatever players if they signed a contract that states what they can and can't do.
