We may not like it but to condem him from doing what we all do in this forum is bit hipocrital, IMO. You either have Freedom of Speech or you don't. The exceptions, such as yelling fire in a crowded room, are designed to protect the masses, but the expression of one's personal opinion are protected. I choose to disagree with his tactics but respect his right to express his position through them.

He has supporters but people won't stick with him when he's losing games..... I'm a 49ers fan but not a fan of his!

What is interesting to me is that none of these "heroes" seem to be the slightest bit interested into going into the gang-infested areas of Chicago and other large cities to start something positive there. Statistics don't lie and aren't racist.

Can't you believe in Freedom of Speech, and at the same time, that citizens must respect the national anthem and the flag?

Great scene no doubt but you made me think of another line in this movie that is a little more appropriate....Nothing is worse than a wasted talent...or opportunity to do the rite thing. Salute the Flag standing on your feet. Not good to be a pinhead when you can be a great example to youngsters. I'm talking about the ball player being a pinhead.
