NO, Jones respected both the Constitution and the players right to free speech, and peaceful protest, yet he did NOT allow them to disrespect the Flag or Anthem. Jones told them he would fire anyone who took a knee during the Anthem or disrespected the Flag! I respect that!

You can go respect all you want. I'm furious!

The NFL sells itself as entertainment. Were you entertained watching that spectacle? I wasn't. It was political! And why should I need or want that?

OK, so they didn't "disrespect the Flag or Anthem." So what? Whatever their beef is:

I AM NOT ENTERTAINED BY THEIR PROTESTS!!!

Why do these people get political only on a nationally televised game day?

Freedom of Speech? If these whiners have freedom of speech only on game day when televised nationally, then all the rest of us have *no* freedom of speech at all (unless you have a TV network camped outside your house every Sunday afternoon so that you can take a knee for whatever issue chafes you).

So let them protest the same way we all do every day, except for game day -- when they should just STFU and play!

The Constitution is for all voices, and although I disagree and subject matter makes me angry, I will defend their right to do it! I want that same right, when I go to protest their sorry arses!
