Terry Frei wasn't commenting on matters involving activities that ran just the opposite of what our US Constitution is supposed to protect: i.e. due process of law, equality, freedom of speech. In this nation we are not supposed to execute people without due process, as is happening in our streets by police, and we certainly don't punish people for exercising their rights as Kaepernick is being punished. Read the 1943 Supreme Court Barnette decision to see that. That include a government body punishing, but the standard should fit everywhere.
