For example let's say I was working on Martin Luther King day and they said they were going to take a moment of silence and I would not do it I could lose my job. I believe the owner has the right to allow them to stay behind in the locker room if they are not going to honor the flag due to it being an embarrassment to the owner and hurting their business
I just think it would be an incredible case of hypocrisy for NFL owners to not allow protesting players on the field during the anthem (for the excuse that it brings embarrassment to the owner/franchise)...when they have no problem allowing players who have had myriads of different issues, including things like drunk driving, domestic violence, drug and weapons charges, etc, etc.
