Leave it to a vote. So much for freedom of speech. The coach didn’t want to single out guys that were kneeling and at the same time not single out guys that were not going to kneel. Only the guys kneeling are criticizing the guys not kneeling. So a team vote is done and they decide not to participate. Which give the impression that they are unanimously opposing participating. Not unanimously by vote but by majority rule. More yea than nay.  That’s not freedom of speech by any stretch. That’s the opposite. That’s oppression. The exact thing they are fighting. One player expresses his opposing view, is called a non conformer and then bullied into explaining that he was wrong and it was all a misunderstanding. Tells the true character of Villanueva.  SMH.  Not what he was cracked up to be.
