Whistling in the graveyard. I can't say I've done a survey, but three of my friends feel the same as me: We will not watch the 49ers play ball. Two of them refuse to watch any football until the NFL sanctions the protesters. Yes, they have freedom of speech rights, but not when they're supposed to be working on playing football. If Colin wants to show off for his new girlfriend, he's free to do it on his own time. Any team that uses NFL TV as a forum for this BS protest, will not see me watching it...and I don't think I stand alone on this.
The NFL and its players have freedom of speech rights. They have stated they hate the flag. No one’s saying that’s illegal. They have the right to say it
Others have the right to hear it interpret it and have feelings about it. That’s how free speech works.
Free speech does not extend to their telling people how to react to it or to believe their lies about it
Agreed. I haven’t watched or listened to a single down this year.
