Maybe - but if the left wing have been doing the same type of thing for some time they are hardly in a position to moan about it. I agree with Maru they should protest on their own time.

but people DO protest on their own time and the right still have a problem with it

they're simply using their platform to peacefully protest to a mass audience so i don't see the problem with it?

That's terrible logic, though.

'I hate PC but it's okay when the right does it because the left is still to blame somehow!'

You cannot be opposed to PC and then be fine with it when it suits you. It's completely hypocritical.

All they are doing is kneeling, they aren't refusing to do their jobs, they aren't doing anything differently other than not standing when someone sings a song. It's a ridiculous move by the NFL and one prompted by Right Wing pressure, as I said in the first post. Freedom of speech is great as long as you don't offend the right wing.
