yes, and I replied to that specific comment because if we’re not to discuss other political and social issues on here unless they measure up to a natural disaster then ...

We’re discuss the politicization of the NFL by the left and how they responded and how if effects the over all league. It’s just an example of the exact thing we always discuss on here regarding the SJW/BLM pushing an agenda on businesses.

It doesn’t matter what some schlub in the stands is doing as they are not being paid to be on the field in a uniform representing a team.

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.
