“Football and politics, it doesn’t mix." Ya think? So why did the NFL pay Beyonce to put on a tribute to the Black Panthers at Super Bowl 50 halftime? Tim Tebow took a knee to pray, and the NFL attacked him for doing it. Now the NFL thinks it's swell to take a knee during the national anthem. Christians are fair game but millionaire athletes are protected? Rights for some, not for all? Who makes these decisions at the NFL? Since NFL players have no 1st Amendment Rights to protest on private stadium property, this means the protests are condoned by the owners. Yes, players have a right to take a knee. Your employer has a right to praise you or fire you. Your boss can fire you if you piss off customers at work, and so can the NFL. You want to support your teammates? Start by supporting your country.
