These players have chosen to make their protest during the anthem to our country which to me it is protesting the wrong thing and the wrong time.. It really is angering many, many people rather than gaining sympathy for their need to say that they feel that black people are being treated unfairly by law enforcement.

I can't know exactly HOW they feel because I am not black, but how one chooses to use free speech can either make a situation better or worse. I think this is making both sides angrier.
