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

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.

The NFLisnt asking the players to stand up or even take the field due to the Trump comments.

But they weren't on the locker room? They were literally standing behind him.

Ben Roethlisberger Regrets Steelers Boycotting Anthem; Trump Supports Fan Boos | Hollywood Reporter
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.

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.

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?
