By your logic, you should be applauding the NFL. Or, at least the owners, who have all refused to hire a quarterback who has the talent to at least be a back-up in the league.

The teams are allowing their employees to perform peaceful protests that have no effect to the on-field product. Sure, some fans are offended, but I've had just about enough of people being offended by everything. Free Republic members have been preaching for YEARS how being offended doesn't mean you're right. It usually means you're a wuss. I see no difference here. We are literally talking about grown men taking a knee during the National Anthem. Do I support it? No. But I support their ability to do it. But I also support the owner's ability to fire them over it.

He turned down the offer SF made him, so he was offered a job. And he’s bad for business that’s why the others don’t want him. What is being discussed in this thread is how the NFL, due to their initial capitulation to the leftist social agenda for YEARS now, has painted themselves into a corner.

We’re discussing the article posted. Nobody started this thread to complain about being offended. As conservatives we’re called nazi everyday in the media or social media. I think we have tougher skin.
We’re talking about how the NFL allowed themselves to be in this position by being cowards instead of focusing on FOOTBALL. That’s why they overcharge for tickets and for advertising during their games...FOOTBALL. They, like many corporations, bend over for any leftist social agenda while alienating most of their consumer base. Again, we’re discussing an article.

But this isn’t about a peaceful protest or about police brutality. It is now and always has been about a racist black guy trying to disrespect whitey .
Kaepernick and his girlfriend are racist, militant idiots who gambled and lost.
