    They have a right to free speech, no doubt. But they don't have a right to work for a particular company. I work for an oil company and they warn us that they monitor what we put out on social media, and they have a right to take action if it goes against the values of our company. Now imagine if they're doing that on the clock and in uniform? Of course they can be fired.

    So, if you called someone, or many people sons of a bitch, you'd probably be fired right?? Lead by example right?? This shit went "full blown ass clown" as soon as he made that comment..

    No. If i called people sons of bitches who popped a squat and disrespected our flag i'd probably be celebrated. Now, if i posted a pic of an American flag with a big turd on it i'd probably be in trouble. Definitely on the 'to-go' list. It's the values of my Company, not Hollywood. Now, if you worked in Hollywood, you could reverse all that. I'd be celebrated for the turd on the flag. Private companies can have their own particular values. And it's now evident what the NFL's are.
    But Trump was elected by the American people, Hammer.

    A lot of people here and elsewhere are taking the very strange leap from "kneeling while the anthem plays" all the way to "taking a shit on Old Glory."

    That's weird.

    This whole thing is ego driven,.. it was started by Kaepernik, who I believe more than anything else, loves being the center of attention,.. now it's been picked up by President Trump, who obsessively craves/must be the center of attention.

    Trump's serving this issue to his base supporters, because he knows they'll gobble it up,.. it has nothing to do with what's good for America,.. and he doesn't care that it's doing harm,.. he just wants to keep his base happy and keep the focus on himself.

    It's a total pissing match and most, at this point, have lost sight of much "altruistic" intent. Can we just watch football? I just want to see the Saints score more points than their opponent, that's all. Is that wrong of me?
