You just don't seem to get it.

Nobody's First Amendment Rights are at risk in the NFL. The First Amendment is a protection against being arrested by THE GOVERNMENT for something you say. No one in the government has threatened anyone with arrest.

However, disrespect for our Flag is an issue with the PUBLIC. Those of us who object to this disrespect have the option of turning off the NFL. Which I have done.

Further, I hope the NFL loses millions of dollars as long as the owners, coaches, etc. "stand by their players" in their disgusting behavior. They are now complicit in this disrespect of our nation.

I find it interesting that you seem to support the NFL player's "free speech," while on another thread you have repeatedly called for the censorship, indeed the banishment from TOTV, of the free speech of others whom you dislike.
