I think every one of these sports players "protesting" while in uniform should be immediately suspended, and fired. They can protest all they want on their own time. When they are on the clock, in uniform, their JOB is to do their JOB, which happens to be playing football, and promoting and behaving respectably while PLAYING FOOTBALL on behalf of their employer. At a minimum, they should stay in the locker room, if they feel they cannot stand for the National Anthem, and come out later.
They should not be a distraction, or be given a platform, for this utter and complete nonsense. They are not social justice warriors, they are football players.
These protesting players need to understand that, understand their place when they are in uniform on the clock, and suspending and firing them will send that message loudly and clearly.
Let them protest on their OWN time.
