You have the right to protest as you wish. If you do it on company time, you may be subject to punitive action by your employer, and that is exactly what happened. The NFL came out saying that because of these political stances during games, it turned away people who turned up for the game, because political views that didn't match their own, turned them off. They were there for sports, not someone's forced objection.

Think of it like this, Soldier A doesn't want to deploy to Area A, so they stop saluting the American flag in defiance of being deployed to Area A. What punitive action might Soldier A face? But like Kaeperneck, Soldier A is just making a stance against what they feel is wrong. Also, just like Soldier A who swore an oath, Kaeperneck was on a contractual agreement to play football for his team.

Political views are like opinions. And opinions are like a$$holes. Everyone has one, some just stink more than others. Not everyone has the same opinions and not everyone has the same political views. There's a time and place, outside of the NFL during a charity would have spoken louder in terms of words or his actions during the National Anthem.
