People that were offended by the protests are the same ignorant people that the protests were meant to enlighten...
If you love this country, then you understand it's built into it to have the right to free speech/protest... there's a legitimate reason behind them and it
has nothing to do with all of them hating America and/or disrespecting our military. Just because one
particular person/network slanted their cause into something it was never intended to be doesn't make that person/network in the right or truthful.
All that aside, the article is pretty transparent about the NFLPA being more concerned with the precedence set than with the actual rule... and it was dumb of the NFL to make any rule without running it through the NFLPA in the first place... this was obviously coming.
...... And the entire issue aside...
I'm going to watch the highest level of football if/when they have "Vote for [insert political figure/message here]" tattoos, stickers, and capes... because I love football, it's played best in the NFL, and I'm a huge fantasy football geek...
Grow some thick skin... some of you guys would scoff at how "stupid" people are at a PETA for taking offense at Chik-Fil-A, but a couple guys take a knee at the start of an NFL game and it's "OMG, I can't watch this anymore!"

lol:
Who cares man?
