They are welcome to have a peaceful protest - just not on the time they are being paid millions to do their job. Stay in the dugout, locker room - what ever - do not disgrace all those veterans that fought so you have the ability to have your peaceful protest.
Who are you to tell an employee of another company when and where they can protest? If their employer doesn't have a problem they are more than welcome to do so on company time
The kind of world where you can kneel for God but if done for the flag people go haywire that it isn't good enough.
Then in some other thread complain about snowflakes
Pretending that this kneeling fad is a form of respect just ain't working for you. It's like me giving you the finger and then claiming I was just showing off my manicure.

Some people are smart but too late - he realizes what the consequences will be. I've been reading Twitter, Facebook, numerous articles on the net and the majority of people ate disgusted by the actions of these players and I think the smart ones realize that this is nor in their best interest to participate.

Wake up.
The idea that this is disgracing veterans is RW BS. It's got nothing to do with disgracing veterans.
They are calling on us all to stop the police from acting so disgracefully.
Alejandro Villanueva, Dale Earnhart Jr., Tom Brady, LeBron James, Michael Jordon, ... coaches, owners, the NFL Commissioner ... all support the players.
Dis-Respecting the United States Flag and National Anthem IS "his business" (it's also US Code) -- I just hope he doesn't go hog wild and start calling Police Officers "stupid".
He is the first US president who made political correctness a priority at a time when everything around us is falling apart. Actually, he is the 1st to make PC a priority at all. Ironically he campaigned pretending he didn't have time for political correctness, and now that he is in office, he is all about PC.
All the PC, and the "oh, they disrespect me so much" whining it starting to sound awfully shallow and fake.
Seems TV ratings are slightly up from last year at this time and Tom Brady, Dale Earnhart Jr., Michael Jordon, LeBron James, ... are all making it clear they support the players right to peacefully protest whatever they want.
dale jr said that he supports the players right to peaceful protest, yes. but you wont see jr kneeling for the anthem anytime ever.

well said. ben rothlisbuger said he regrets not getting out on the field and standing for the anthem.

Oh please there is nothing offensive about kneeling. Unless of course you're an oversensitive snowflake. Comparing kneeling to giving the finger is a stupid comparison. Let me guess, never had a critical thinking class have you?
