This is not about 1st amendment rights. These players are employees, employees of their teams and the NFL. I know I do not have a right to protest or voice my political views while I am working. I am sure that most of you on here also do not. Is there a specific rule to their act? NO but there is clause for acts detrimental to the league. In the long run this may hurt the NFL. I most certainly know that the fans that are paying huge amounts of monies to attend these games can and will voice their opinions if this continues. That voice will be half empty stadiums and dramatic drops in viewership. The majority will speak at that time.
As far as our players, I hope none kneel. I will not denounce my fandom if they do but will be happy if they don't because what they are doing is supporting a cause started by a player that is no longer in the league and pretty much unemployable because of his actions. Kaep talks about social injustice and white privilege, that is awesome, I hope something can be done to right these problems. I also find it backwards that he was adopted in raised in a very privileged white family.
WHODEY and have a great day.
