Employees do not have the right to express their attitudes publically in their place of business in a manner that impacts the corporate image of their brand! Starbucks, MacDonalds, and 7/11 workers have lost their jobs when they purposefully assaulted the sensitivities of their customer base. Why do you think these ball catchers are special and have the right to get in the face of REAL Americans when these, often illiterate, and always resentful ingrates disrespect their love of country? Why would you think that the Baltimore Ravens when they knelt in England during the playing of the "Star Spangled Banner", yet stood for "God Save the Queen" have that right? Just a Thang? Respect and patriotism mean more to the NFL's diminishing fan base than their love of an inconsequential weekend diversion? I hope, Eric, that you enjoy sitting in the increasingly empty stands in decaying stadiums as funds and government subsidies dry up while REAL AMERICANS EXPRESS THEIR RIGHT TO PROTEST!
