Anyone remember the support for Kim Davis, "protesting" while on the job a couple of years ago?

When she "protested" gay marriage by refusing to issue same-sex couples marriage licenses? You know, while on the job?

Ah, good times.

Yeah, I remember that one. Either she should have looked for another job or be fired.


Not suggesting that the players should be fired but in my opinion, anyone protesting on their jobs should be reprimanded.

I hate the Confederate flag, which is Democratic, as I hate the KKK, also from the Democratic Party.

Every single player in the Cardinals side violated the rule aka "disrespected the flag, nation and troops" by not placing right hand over the heart. Why are they a class act?

Does your boss allow you to protest on company time? Like it or not, you don't have 100% of your rights at work.

You made this up. Name the conservatives if you've seen so many. Go ahead and name them.

Strawman. If they did, you still wouldn't be allowed to protest in an organized fashion.

They've done far more than those worthless Blue Lives Matter groups. Please do not be uneducated and spread ignorance.
It's great that he did all of that but wearing those Pig socks was a really crappy move IMO.
