First and foremost I support First Amendment rights. In this case Collin K had every right to speak his mind but I have two major issues with his delivery and the other players that now follow. First I believe the point he and other NFL players are attempting to protest is misdirected at our Flag and National Anthem, not whatever political or racial point they are trying to make. Secondly I currently pay DirecTv $$$$ for the NFL package, and enhanced sports package that gets me the NFL channel, ESPN, and other sports channels. I pay to watch, and periodically attend the game. I do not and will not pay to watch the extremely wealthy participants First Amendment views on any issue they choose. Many stadiums receive government subsidies which come from our tax dollars. If these protesters want to call a news conference outside their mansions, rent a hall, or purchase network time dedicated to their specific issues, then go for it, but they don’t dare do it when I am watching and contributing to the millions they are making. I will
for my right to direct my limited entertainment dollars elsewhere. By the way, I pleasantly watched 10+ hours of golf this last weekend with zero first amendment political or racial issue addressed.
