If they gave an actual damn about our flag or our nation, they would not have nominated or elected a slimebag like Trump.
No, they don't get to play that game. They don't get to be "patriotic" and demand black NFL players be fired for not saluting the flag on order while at the SAME TIME electing Trump, a slimebag who dodges the draft and doesn't pay his taxes. They don't get to demand people be fired for protesting while at the SAME TIME defending the bigoted clowns who protested the removal of Confederate statues.
Actually they do get to demand all of those things. They demand it by either watching or not, going to games or not, or buying NFL merchandise or not.
Dale Earnhardt Jr has always been an idiot. People don't have the right to protest at their place of employment, with the possible exception of government employees.

Everyone can vote with their dollar, but those who voted for Trump don't get to play the patriot or claim the moral high ground, and the countless right-wingers who supported the white-extremist protesters in Charlottesville don't get to condemn the black, non-violent ones at the NFL games. Anything else is hypocrisy, and while even hypocrites have money to spend, no amount of money will buy them respect.
Trump politicized sports because with all the crap he's starting with North Korea and other serious issues, he knows that much of America will always rally up when they can collectively talk about blacks. All of a sudden there is no other issue when you can talk about those "privileged blacks being disobedient and ungrateful". And it worked like a charm.

No. He said, if he had a son, he'd look like a hoodrat in Florida...........
