The players can protest outside the stadium. They can protest on 16th Street Mall. They can lead a peaceful march to the doors of the Mayor's Office. They can advocate for changes in state and federal laws. Instead, they've hijacked the business and hijacked the customers. Free speech? Any NFL player going to protest out-of-wedlock births? Protest domestic violence? Protest Cam Newton's sexist comments? Protest the lack of free speech for all players, coaches, management, and employees? It's the theater of the absurd. 

Sporting News article last week noted that NFL televised games have lost 18% of viewers since 2015. That equates to 3.2M people. Now networks and the MSM stopped reporting the protests. How is that not propaganda at its fullest?
