Only someone like you would think think this even vaguely relevant to the discussion at hand. I bet you’d love to go on a sanctimonious rant about the failings of black father’s wouldn’t you? Worse than a priest cunts like you.
Way to undermine your post there. You coulda been right and all
It’s relevant become he has no experience of growing up in a black community. He’s a bit like yourself, outraged by something he never experienced (and in your case living in a shithole that ranks 153rd of 175 countries measured in terms of freedom of expression, and where the govt has almost unparalleled control over political opposition). You should really get the fuck out of there if you care about human rights.
Some cunt this lad.
That’s all well and good but if the employers have no issue with it, who is Trump to come along and interefere in the employer employee relationship?

Where are you getting the owners have no issue with it? Here’s what Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, had to say on it; “I do not think the place to express yourself in society is as we recognize the American flag. So that’s not the place to do anything other than recognize the flag and everybody that’s given up a little bit for it”. Very few owners have said anything as it’s a very divisive issue, and have received no guidance from the useless NFL commissioner.
I don’t think many people, players, owners, fans, would have an issue with players making some kind of statement or protest regarding inequality or any social issues really, the problem is the choice of doing it during the national anthem, which a majority of the population find inappropriate or offensive. Indeed the same Cowboys did a brief unity statement this evening, which was done before the anthem.
I fully agree Trump should have stayed out of it.

The replies are nuts altogether
The form of protest doesn’t matter. They just don’t like what’s being said. The irony of the whole thing of course is that the Pentagon poured money into the NFL in order to create all this military worshipping horseshit. Players being used as unwitting recruitment tools was fine though, apparently.

That and owners maybe having an issue with the Trump telling supporters to get up & walk out of games if these " Sons of Bitches " kneel.
It’s odd the whole furoe from Trump & Co ( lickspittles like @anon7035031 ) considering the current show of National Anthem before games with Players on the Field only became the norm in 2009. The substantial payments to the NFL of taxpayers money by the Department of Defense & National Guard could be argued as a dirty ploy to garner new membership from impressionable young men.
Pre 2009 most players sat in their Locker Rooms while anthems rang out, the dirty " Sons of Bitches ".

The form of the protest does matter, at least to people who can actually think for themselves.
These are professional athletes, extremely wealthy ones at that, who at the end or the day are paid by the fans. The fans are the ones who purchase tickets to games, buy TV packages, and the broader population are the ones who very often fund the stadiums they play in via taxes (in many cases whether they like sport or not).
So yes, the fans have a say, and the majority of US fans approve the right to protest, but are mildly to strongly opposed to protesting during the anthem. The great majority of players are also opposed to protesting during the anthem.
The almost universal condemnation of Trump’s remarks are a different issue.

There is no such thing as a soul, you complete jackass moron.
Keep calling me a Moron. But remember, you ran away. 
Whether players stay in the locker room or are on the field is not the issue. The issue is protesting during the playing of the anthem, which is highly divisive and offensive to the majority of fans, i.e. the people who ultimately pay the salaries of the entire franchises, not just the players. In any other occupation, conducting divisive and offensive protests in the workplace gets you disciplined and possibly fired. That’s the way things work in the USA in the private sector, regardless of whether a racist jackass like yourself objects to it.
