Exactly!

I’m so sick of hearing that these professional athletes have a ‘right’ to protest on the job.

If I did that I’d be fired quickly.

Fine - you don’t want to participate in the national anthem? Stay in the locker room until it’s over. You’re not being paid to protest and you’re not owed a stage to do so. Do that on your own time, like everyone else.

Most people would be fired for such a protest on the job, especially if it's a large corporation. That's not for us peasants to do. Only the media is allowed to protest on the job.

Only trained professionals should be protesting since you can't be trusted with your opinions. /s
