NFL Player Makes Unpleasant Prediction About What Will Happen if Players Forced to Stand for...

I cannot wait for the festivities to begin. I will not be watching but will read about it or see it on the news. Perhaps we can get entire teams to walk off the field and not play thus pissing off even more paying customers. Perhaps only a few will protest and they will get benched and cool the heels.

This has all been made possible by piss poor leadership from Goodell and the Owners. They should have shut this down when it started.

And the sound of silence as cash registers everywhere cease to pop open in receipt of the common guys cash that slowly slips away..

And that's why you don't give employees a platform to voice their social, political or economic beliefs while working. What Mr. McCoy does not understand is freedom of speech does not apply to the private sector. The NFL players’ protests around the National Anthem reminds us that the First Amendment applies, as a matter of law, only to government action. Employees of private companies don’t have constitutional rights against their employers. Therefore, professional athletes don’t have a First Amendment right to protest at games. Teams can take actions against players, subject to contract provisions and union agreements. They would need to demonstrate some form of racial or religious bias. The racial approach will be hard as 70% of players are black but the rule/policy will apply as well to the 30% white players - its not racially targeting - A religious argument is as well not applicable as its been clearly articulated what this is about.

The best chase if anything is players might have an argument against the government due to Trump's comments and Pence's actions as the government trying to influence the private sector to limit players speech.
