It's like saying they are against the low wages Walmart pays, but instead of pointing to the CEO or management they criticize the Walmart slogan "Save money. Live better."
Study up on concepts of federal government, States, and local offices and who answers to who.
Rather than protesting the national anthem, why dont these overpaid multi millionaires go into these inner cities where blacks are slaughtering one another and try and talk sense into the community. Why not build centers for the youth can go and get tutoring and play sports since it seems as if these liberal politicians who run these cities aren't doing much of anything to help curb the violence.
Look at chicago! Most murders in 1 month last month since the summer of 1993. What the hell is going on over there? These aren't white's shooting blacks or cops shooting blacks. These are blacks killing their fellow blacks. Even the poorest most backwoods redneck towns and cities dont see such violence.
Worse than cowards. I don't know what to call grown men who get to play sports for a living and make millions of dollars for playing a game on top of commercials and supporting clothes or shoes etc and want to whine about "social injustice" give me a freaking break.

The US attorney general answers to the president.
Local police answer to the police chief who answers to the mayor.
If local police are committing institutional racism, the mayor should take action. If the mayor refuses to take action, the DOJ should take action. The DOJ answers to the AG who answers to the president.
It seems as though the majority of these police issues occur in urban cities controlled by Democrats for which the only other oversight is the DOJ, ultimately controlled by Democrats.
It makes you wonder why they are protesting music instead of the people who are ultimately responsible.

I don't care who you blame, or if you choose to call it "institutional racism". You are as partisan as you can get, so there is no point in discussing anything.
There has been plenty of action, and training etc but stuff happens. It is not going to stop. It's a big country and stuff happens, and you can point your fingers all day long if it makes you feel better.
These players are protesting what is happening in the US.
The leader of the US is Obama.
Under the last nearly 8 years, race relations have deteriorated and police brutality has increased.
Why are they not criticizing Obama? Are they cowards for not doing so?
If the company you work for treats the employees like crap, shouldn't the CEO be called to task on it? Of course. Essentially, Obama is the CEO of the US.
the players protecting they way they are should be removed from the team or at a minimum removed from playing.
Protesting over the lack of more black privileges is laughable.
Even the president sides with black felons over innocent people.
No one believes that the blacks are suffering from racism, when they have a disproportionate amount of subsidies, grants, special privileges, and job quotas.
If anything, the American blacks are destroying themselves by failing to succeed on their own merits, while blaming whites.

I'm not pointing my fingers, these players are. I'm just saying they are either afraid or unaware of where to point their fingers.
And if action is being taken, that means our country is trying to fix the problem; therefore, why are they protesting a problem being addressed?
So, if enough speak up, the NFL will stop playing the anthem and institutional racism goes away?
viewership will that's for sure.
