RE: An open letter to the NFL players
All of them are dying in the name of politicians. The flag has now become a tool for them to divide the nation even more. This is why its 2 years in a row trying to make this story bigger than what it is and its working. Weather people like it or not, if you respect freedom and the right to protest than this should be ok. The flag is supposed to represent a lot more than fallen military participants but again people will want it to represent whatever they deem fitting at the time. Its def tragic seeing young people die, especially for wars that are a direct result of the united states previous interventions. But there are a few things to consider as well. The nfl never even televised or made a huge deal of the anthem till a few years ago. The nfl has also for years been a large tax haven and is largley funded by federal and state tax dollars.
People being more upset about a protest and not being upset about the countless wars and meddling with other countries baffles me.
I am glad i am an american. However i am not happy about the military actions or how close it is to being all out socialist. Is it your goal to make standing mandatory? Id hope not for the sake of at least free speech
The players have NO "free speech rights" when they are on the field and in uniform. No employee has such rights while they are on the job. If you want laws changed, change them the proper way and carry on. Until then, quit attacking the nation and its flag, police and military.
Please show me where it says in the nflpa that they cannot do such things. And at any job I've ever had I have never been told what I can and cannot say politically. Show me under labor laws where it says that person cannot make a political statement a political statement. I'm pretty sure in this you're pretty much talking out of your butt. In a nation where we have free speech
Perhaps you should read up on contract law and get back to me.
You have NO #1A rights while working - in fact, since NO government action is involved in this protest, the First Amendment does not apply. Please read the Constitution while you're at it.
Youre a dildo. The constitution says nothing of this either. Get a life. And thicker skin. Hope socialism works out for you man
