The people who get upset at Trump, saying “he’s attacking their freedom of speech!” are the same people who make everyone afraid to express an opinion which is different from theirs.
Well yea we all know this. The lefties act like out of control maniacs when people DARE call them out on their BS. As if they’re the only ones allowed to speak an opinion and everyone else should not only be quiet but also have violence committed against them.
I would like to see an NFL player protest Black Lies Matter on the field. How long do you think his freedom of speech would be protected?
Freedom of speech does not extend, of course, to the Confederate flag or Confederate statues. Or anything to do with traditional Southern culture. Or conservatives speakers on college campuses. Or conservative students.
There are many places that players can use to express their political opinions beside the football game. Athletes have the media at their beck and call. They can call press conferences or make their comments when they are being interviewed. It is not necessary to politicize sports. It is rude to interrupt the enjoyment of football fans with a gesture that is very offensive to many people. The anthem and the American flag are symbols of the country and should not be disrespected.
You win the Truth Prize.
