There is a difference, IMHO, between speaking FOR a group and speaking AGAINST a group.  Standing up to say a group is oppressed and should be held as equals is not the same as saying  a group is lesser and you don't care if they are oppressed.

While all the speech is allowed it is not all the same...to me.

Yeah, to me it just seems kind of silly. "I'm going to support this country and play for it, but I'm also going to condemn it".

Although I don't agree with Professional players kneeling I feel they have the right, but I'm not sure the same holds true for those that play for the Red, White, and Blue.

I recently watched a story on the Syrian Men's team that makes all this look petty.

Why can it not be considered that Rapione is speaking AGAINST Patriots and Hickle is speaking FOR Religious Freedoms?
