No, we agree very little.

The NFL is not a governmental body. Therefore, it has the right to establish rules regarding conduct such as this.

The states are a governmental body, and therefore do NOT have the right to establish rules contrary to the Constitution.

The NFL chose to create rules against conduct such as in these protests, and they choose not to enforce their own rules.

States who prosecute bakers, florists, and the like choose to ignore the supreme law of the land (Constitution, including 1A) and punish people for behavior clearly allowed under the first.

You, also, are entitled to your opinion, and you are entitled to express it. I have the right to disagree, and to point out where part of your opinion (the percentage of agreement between us) is egregiously incorrect.

Be well, FRiend.

...thus making new rules that they choose to follow...

States who prosecute bakers, florists, and the like choose to ignore the supreme law of the land (Constitution, including 1A) and punish people for behavior clearly allowed under the first.

...supreme law of the land... freedom of expression... i just put more weight on that freedom than you do and when the majority acts tyrannically towards the minorities, i stand up for the rights of the minority... not that i believe in their protests, but their right to do so...

be good.
