From the protesters' point of view, it's perfect: a captive audience whose members have paid significant money to be there for another reason, and the protesters being paid enormous amounts of money to be there for another reason as well. National televising for free. Reporters standing by to report on it for free. All that is necessary to make it happen is a fundamental betrayal of that arrangement in favor of a private political passion. No repercussions, fawning followers, self esteem. Sweet deal if you can keep the suckers coming.

This is a former sucker speaking: not a dime, not a down. Got better things to do with my time.

Except their “captive audience” is diminishing due to what they’re doing.

My prediction is that it will come to an end when other players do similar sh!t to "protest" over their own pet issues. At that point, everyone will realize how silly and self-defeating this nonsense is.

Better yet ... imagine NFL players standing on the sidelines wearing "Make America Great Again" paraphernalia. LOL.
