Tuesday when asked by TMZ Sports about the Dallas Cowboys kneeling before the national anthem to protest President Donald Trump’s comments objecting to NFL players kneeling for the national anthem, Sen John McCain (R-AZ) said it was their “right” to do so.

And I have the right to burn my NFL gear and boycott the league.
I would expect a more intelligent and nuanced response from a Senator, veteran and ex-POW.
And I have the right to yell ‘Burn in hell you bastard’ at your funeral that won’t come soon enough.
Some people might consider it rude and out of place, but hey, freedom of speech, don’t oppress me!
And I have the right to tell you, John McCain, to KMA!!!!
STFU Juan!
“Maybe AZ can get an actual Conservative in office, instead of a person resting on his ‘laurels’ and lying about his future votes.”
And please, do not make it “The Beast with Three Heads,” Megan McCain.
. . . that’s a REALLY bad case of rain rot!
You stupid traitorous SOB
NO ONE Has the “right” to conduct political activities ON THE JOB
And ESPECIALLY ago the OFFENSE of CUSTOMERS
Including the viewing public
Your meeting with Satan can’t come soon enough
The have the right to kneell if they like, but that does not make them (or anyone who utilizes their 1st Amendment rights) immune to the economic blow back from others who are affected by your speech.
No one has ever disputed their right to do so, Senator Schit-fer-brains. What is in dispute is the propriety of doing so. But don’t let little things like facts get in the way of a good bashing of Donald Trump...you self-centered horse’s ass.
McCain’s biography should be something like:
“McCain: A Venal Life”
Why is he talking about the Cowboys? They stood for the anthem, the kneeling took place prior.
This is so weird.
And we have a right to not support them. Freedom goes both ways, Juan.
Especially from the same bastards who want to deny free speech to their opponents
Constitutional protections do not cease to exist just because a person is on the clock. Of course NFL players have a right to take a knee. At the same time, NFL team owners are able to discipline them for doing so.
Or get ridiculous taxpayer subsidies from the rest of us
“He’s correct. They do have the right to take a knee. But they don’t have the right to continue to be profitable.”
Agree with you 100%..... and the same holds true for the sponsors.....
In protest, I’ve given up Budweiser and now only drink craft beers.. (Haven’t had a Bud in years as they use rice as an adjunct to create the alcohol without increasing body and it yields phenolic compounds that give me headaches) ..
They have the right to kneel but they also have the right to wear a cap advertising Disney on the sidelines. But both are against NFL rules.
And your customers have every right to go elsewhere for their entertainment.
