The spineless owners of these players ought to fire them. We do not want to see these cry bullies acting out their Fake Oppression on the football field or on the stage at the Emmys. Those of us whose incomes for the year are half of what they get per week are sick of it.
Not all of them are spineless. Jerry Jones has told his players that they will stand and not protest during the national anthem or they won't be on his team any longer.
If Roger Goodell had a brain, he'd ban all protests. There is no right to protest on your employer's time.
