In other news:

You massively misunderstand the problem that people have with the anthem protests. Despite how poorly some low IQ rednecks might articulate themselves, no one actually believes that there should be any kind of law, or government policy suppressing the free speech of anyone, including football players.

Players can kneel. No problem.

The problem is the double standard. You can throw the constitution out the window and de-platform Ben Shapiro at college campuses, but when an NFL owner says "keep your protest inside the locker room" he's being a tyrannical racist.

Well, hardly anyone is putting it that way (double standard) except now you. Generally the arguments you hear are 'blah blah direspecting the troops blah blah hate America blah blah ungrateful'. And that's from the president.

As far as Ben Shapiro goes, a college can decide for itself who it wants on their campus or not. Because they're run by high IQ people who are generally liberal in outlook, it doesn't surprise me if some of them don't want him or his ilk coming around. No-one, however, is saying he can't put up videos on youtube popping off on whatever he wants. No-one is saying he has to salute the flag before he can speak on their campus. So, not really a relevant comparison.

Well I'm not talking about the college itself. But since you mentioned it, do you also then agree that NFL teams should have the right to decide for themselves if they want to allow personal activism during business hours?

If a college is under no obligation to provide a forum for political speech. Why is the NFL?

If you want an example of the double standard I'm talking about, check out the faggot at 4:14

It's not a forum, they're not taking any time away from their owners to give a speech. I mean at least get the basic facts right.

They're offending the customers. What are you not getting?

Did you even read what I said?

If you had argued that by taking a knee, they're costing their employees money, and by that logic their employees have the right to punish or fire them, then I'd agree.

But what you said was they're using the anthem as a forum for political speech. So obviously you still haven't got a dictionary yet, 'cause if you did you would know what the word 'forum' means.
