Those players knew they could get suspended like the first one and loose their careers. But...their protest meant more to them and those Constitutional rights of others with no voice, they risked all to stand against the inequility of our Justice System. I agree with your right not to pay or watch games. I agree taxes should never be spent on any sport team. I agree that many are overpaid morons. I think sports teams across the board are dealing with empty seats and brand sales for a few years. IMO, I think too high price on seats and team brand items are ridiculous. Especially in this economic times.  The other is fans can watch games live on their tech toys and be comfortable at home with friends and not deal with bonehead rude jerks around them. Also I think many fans are concerned about violence after games. As we have seen and heard about lousy attitudes of some morons trashing cities after losing.
