The players have a Constitutional right to protest the way they do.
Blaming the whole country is foolishly inappropriate, but the players have the right to do so.
There is a policing problem, but the players’ unpatriotic actions aren’t the right way to solve it.
Better police training is needed.
The players might fund a study that lists the errors that were made by police and the way those errors could have been prevented.
In Florida armed civilians have the duty to retreat from danger if possible. If an officer backing up 10 feet would avoid a death then maybe it should be required by law.
The absolutely do not have a right to protest on their employer's time.
If a UPS guy comes to your door to deliver a package, and then pulls out a bullhorn to announce to your neighborhood that UPS sucks and Fedex is much better, he unquestionably has a constitutional right to say that. UPS, however, unquestionably has a constitutional right to fire him.
I am bothered that a Judge would make a comment like he did but you are off base as well. The players are in an employment roll on the field. The Constitutional limitations on Congress making laws restricting freedom of speech don't apply in this instance. If the NFL wanted to fire or penalize they are within their rights.

Where any Florida "duty to retreat" comes in when the issue down there is the Castle Doctrine which holds to the contrary, I do not know.
Bannon as an individual is fine but the Breitbart News attitude of hyped crisis is no way to compose campaign statements would be my advice to Moore.
Sorry. You don't know what you are talking about.
You must a be a victim of the government run school system, because otherwise you should have learned that Bill of Rights, generally, and the the "speech clause" in the 1st Amendment, specifically, only apply to the government, not private employers.
