Just saw Fox Sports all come out for freedom of speech.
Trump opposes freedom of speech for NFL players.
The Left opposes freedom of speech for Universities, colleges, highschools, ESPN.

Is there anyone who will point out the hypocrisy and create a movement that is not “free speech for my side only?”

When I took my job that I worked at for 35 years, I had to sign an agreement that I would do nothing that would shine a bad light on the company's famous logo.

So while I worked for this company a portion of my free speech was limited.

I now sit on a board where I am not free to go to the newspaper and talk about my personal views of the issues the board deals with. Again my free speech is limited.

But I can always choose not to work for the company or sit on the board with these restrictions.

The players are free to resign their jobs and do as they please, but while on the job their behavior is unacceptable.

Trump is not opposed to free speech. He is being roasted for speaking freely. The Leftists are the ones who bring politics onto the football field. Where are these libs who say politics should always stop at the waters edge. The National Anthem is that waters edge. There are countless venues on the Internet and media for players to espouse there own opinions. Simple respect for our country, while standing at attention for a minute and half at the most is not too much to ask. Do it for your country, your teammates, your fans, and the troops.
