Based on all your comments on this site it seems like you may not like America or the principles it was built on. May I suggest China or Russia? You might love it. There you are told what you can/cannot do. Anyone who truly knows the history of this country knows that what they are doing is one of the basic fundamentals of a democracy and is what makes the USA the USA. You don't have to like it (if you are racist), but it's a fact. They have every right to protest. If the NFL wants to take a stand, that's their deal and they have that right as well. In this case, they are supportive, so end of the story.
