There's a lot of mis-info out there about this.
A. "these players have the right to...." No, not while on the clock and under their employers rules; via a contract signed by every player in the league. For those that live in a open-carry state, try open-carry into work one day; or instead wear a "Abortion on Demand" tee-shirt. Try to convince then that although this may have not been a wise decision, "but I still have the right to... " B The NFL guidelines about player conduct, they're too vague at the moment on this aspect. They need to make them more specific they are already specific: Quote:

I'm absolutely in favor of anyone protesting what they feel is wrong. But this is just so the wrong place. Other times/places the protest would gain folks. This is creating plenty against. |

All I know is that are not standing respectfully for the natl anthem. I don’t know why.
That’s a fail. You are pissing people off for no apparent reason. Rather like screaming in church for no reason. It’s annoying with no redeeming rationale. |

Trump is a populist. Some of his policies overlap with conservatism, but he isn't a conservative. Look at his daughter, Ivanka. Typical limousine liberal. He's brought in some generals into his fold I wouldn't label as conservative. As to this current dust up, Trump merely said what millions of ordinary people are saying around the dinner table, at the water cooler, on base, and everywhere else Americans gather. The left has anyone NOT on the fringe left frightened of their own shadows, lest they be called out as a bigot, sexist, homophobe, racist, and whatever other vile and baseless names that can be tossed out to silence the opposition. And frankly, before Trump, conservatives, who should have been leading the pushback to all this SJW business, had pretty much ceded the field to the SJW's. Until Trump. They threw everything including the kitchen sink at Trump, viciously, and without mercy, and he's still standing. People see that they can speak out against the SJW's agenda. This is exactly why he has such a loyal base. Trump is like a real life John Connor. Quote:

When someone says: "the players have the right", I am sensing them thinking that "there's nothing that can be done about it... because it's a constitutional right". It's not a "right" if existing laws or regulations don't allow it to be done. |

This is where I find so much fun on this subject. The misattribution of blame. WE ARE BLAMELESS! |

You have the right to say what you want at my dinner table. And I have the right to tell you to leave now, dinner is over. It’s my house. Go insult me somewhere else.

I feel so liberated getting away from the NFL, uh, programming? The pure propaganda? Not sure what it is, but it feels fine.

Maybe.
Nah, I'm the same! The world, she's changing around me. We watched the Blues Brothers tonight. Four of us. We were amazed at how out of place the general vibe of that movie would be in this era. No politics beyond hating Illinois Nazis. Cops were mean but not evil. Blacks/whites/whatever get along. It was so surreal compared to the stuff we are fed. Become free! (that's what I felt...) |

I'll clarify. The NFL depends on the media to cover for them. The media gets access to the NFL. The NFL and the media had a Pavlovian response to Trump's comments, and the NFL expected the media to take care of it. Meanwhile, the nuclear weapon of nearly every player on every team disrespecting the flag/anthem/whatever went off. |
