The point is that this is not the time or place for their so-called protest. They are being overpaid to do their jobs, not protest. I have no problem with their right to protest; my problem is where and when. If they, especially that Kaepernick, have a problem with America, then this country also affords them the freedom to go live in another country. As Merle Haggard says in a song, "They love our milk and honey, but preach about another way of living...".

Funny thing, isn't it, that they can be "offended" but the other 99.9% can't. Their hypocrisy really stood out when they panicked over the police threatening to no longer provide security.
