And the rules are the point. The nba had rules that prevented some form of protest, so the players found another method (shirts, espy awards, etc). The nfl had different rules that prevented other forms of protest (jerseys, locker rooms etc). They were finding ways to express themselves within the rules.
The NFL doesn't have rules against speaking out on social issues via social media, interviews or giving a message at the Espy's.
That's how I'm aware of the opinions of those NBA players and coaches.
So again, I'm not sure how you think NFL players are forced to use the Anthem to be heard.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
