The NFL should have a seminar on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights by a Hillsdale College professor. The next seminar should be on flag history and etiquette by the American Legion.
Afterwards, each player can select his own issue(s) for which to be an advocate ON HIS OWN TIME—not company time.
In contrast, group advocacy is improper and violation of individual rights because it’s forced upon all players, whether they agree with it or not. It may force a player to support a position (which may even have nothing to do with his occupation) they may disagree with. Even if the player agrees with the position, he may disagree with the manner of protest/advocacy. At that point, the players union actually should stand up for those players who are railroaded into particular issue advocacy in which they do not wish to participate. Unless it’s a universally accepted issue like supporting fighting cancer, issue advocacy is an individual choice that should have nothing to do with a nonpartisan workplace!
