Trump would have to be after career suicide? Or maybe he’s just fucking stupid. He should know that his statements are going to be taken how he says them. People shouldn’t have to infer and wade through his bullshit.
For the third and final time, context matters. That removes the need to infer and wade, no?
If you read into the explanations given by those who knelt then you would know that’s it’s a protest against racism. A juvenile flaunt of privilege? They used their position to try and do some good and raise awareness for a topic that they think is a real issue.
I don't care for the rhetoric made behind the scenes, I'm speaking of the act itself. What did the protest achieve other than get the footballers themselves on the front of CNN?
It's sadly not within their contract to make political statements, that is not what they are paid millions for. I'm glad the NFL gave them the boot, pun intended.
Maybe you should be the one to read the definition of free speech, as expressive conduct is viewed as a form of it and is therefore protected by the first amendment. http://law.jrank.org/pages/7019/Freedom-Speech-Expressive-Conduct.html
It’s irrelevant if the protest achieved anything or not, it’s still protected by the first amendment, meaning Trump has advocated for taking away the rights of these players. I wouldn’t expect you to understand all of this though since we’ve already established that you don’t like social sciences.
Not true, since the NFL reserves the right to fire whomever they wish as a private company via powers lent to NFL by their contracts. Free speech protections are typically limited to government, public employees and unionized employees (given the right negotiated terms).
Didn't
you argue this when Google engineer James Damore released his memo and was subsequently fired? How interesting.

Liking =/= understanding.
Oh Toffee, your articulation has improved over the past year but the underlining arguments behind your posts are still the same fundamentally flawed shite they've always been. Thanks for the spacing between each flawed statement by the way, that made my life easier a bit.
