Subject: NFL bans kneeling New NFL policy bans kneeling during the National Anthem. I keep reading about how this violates players' first amendment right. Uh....yeah, you surrender a lot of your rights when you are at work. If I tried to exercise my 2nd amendment rights at work, security would escort me off the premises and invite me to never come back. If I wanted to 'express myself' and wore a tee shirt and shorts to work, it would take a bit longer but I would find myself needing to update my resume.
Bottom line is, football is entertainment. It is a show meant to entertain audiences and people pay money to be entertained. If the entertainers are piszing off the customers you lose busine$$.
My only issue is why the NFL waited so long. If the owners had any balls they'd of told the players immediately, "You do that sht again and you are fired!"
I guess Kaepernick is working at the car wash these days.....good for him. |
