You must be self employed or unemployed...if you work for an employer and they say jump, you ask how high or if they say stand for the flag, you do so or risk being fired. The NFL is the employer and the players are the employees in this case...basic Business 101.The NFL is private commercial entertainment. It has nothing to do with government, and has been hijacked as a propaganda tool with ritualistic nationalist ceremonies. What is that statist garbage even doing there?
Government is criminal, unethical, systematic violence, just plain wrong. There is nothing wrong about choosing not to be a sheeple drone who worships a 'magic' quilt and traditional pub song developed into a nationalist war-mongering propaganda tool that represents evil.
Shaming or disciplinary action against athletes for their disagreement or opinion is not respecting their right to a mind of their own, and is contradictory to the supposed national values. It is also a classic method of using ridicule/peer pressure to promote solidarity and nationalism. It is reminiscent of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia.
