First off,these players dont live in said “communities”
Second, if the police are constantly in these “communities”, maybe its not police misconduct thats the big problem..

“Then Jerry Jones is not violating his players’ 1st Amendment rights.”
The First Amendment was written to protect our (We the People) 1st Amendment rights from our gov’t.

Someone posted the FBI Crime Stats from 2015 (I think) a few days ago.
But to be fair, I did some checking and U.S News reports:
“ the number of blacks killed by blacks rose to 2,380 last year”
Washington Post:
So far in 2017, killed by police:
White-360
Black-173
Hispanic-124
So my numbers may have been off a bit. But I think my point is still valid. Black on Black crime is a much larger problem than police on black.

“”If the players want to protest on their own time - I have NO problem with””
Let them gather at the nation’s capitol or their own state capitol or their legislator’s offices, state or federal or local to make their complaints and demands known. That’s the proper place. Sad that they don’t know that. They’d have to give up - what - some of their OWN time?
To: ColdOne
This is not simply a Black issue due to the number of white people also killed by police Boy, it must have pained them to blurt that out...

Idiots ... you don’t have constitutional rights when you are on COMPANY TIME ... you do that protesting stuff on your OWN time.

“I know I’m a teen, but the founding fathers put in the Constitution that NFL teams are guaranteed to have rights?”
Respectfully, no, the Constitution limits what Government can do, not what private organizations can do. That said, NFL players can protest all they want while not working.
