[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 446558, member: 3774"] I totally disagree with the opinion of the players but they each have individual rights to protest. However, they DO NOT have anymore rights than any other employee. If players really want an honest debate on this issue then stop using the anthem as a prop and demand that the very cops they protest against have the ability to exercise their free speech without punishment. I get it, I don’t think the players are unpatriotic I think they are liars. They are using the flag and anthem to draw attention to an issue which has nothing to do with patriotism. This is a crime issue. Police interaction with the community has nothing to do with football and the police are not hunting down blacks and killing them. I’m all for an honest conversation, to do that the players should join cops and demand that they AND the cops enjoy the exact same free speech. When cops aren’t barred from public comments on the cases that they are involved in it will be an equal conversation. When cops don’t face termination or deciplinary action for speaking out on “open” cases it will be an equal conversation. Until that moment the players can save their argument. Until then I will look at each protest as a one sided propaganda war [/QUOTE]
