It still amazes me, how many white people can't grasp...this very simple concept.

Yes they are athletes, but they are paid to be entertainers and provide millions of Americans an external release from their daily lives. When players step across the line, they are no longer entertainers, and are trying to dictate to you how to live your daily life. Shut up and and catch the ball, and when they play the National Anthem stand at attention for a couple of minutes, is that asking too much?
When you're on your own time, do whatever you want, but when fans are paying $300 for a seat and $10 for beer to be entertained, you are on the clock.
