"It isn't a matter of offense. Their EMPLOYERS don't want them to do that. For most normal (non-privileged folk) you generally do what your boss says. But for these entitled pampered elitists, they feel they can tell their boss to screw off."
Agreed. Many (Most?) people don't want them to do it either. Those professional athletes are free to make whatever statement they want when they are free to do so, not when they are on the company clock.
But do you know which person his employers and the general public wanted to pay honor to Veterans on Veterans day?
Unlike those grandstanding fakers, he was hired to represent America, and on that day, to show in front of the world our respect and appreciation for those who did what he was too much of a coward to do himself when he was supposed to.
Then again, since it was in keeping with his nature, no one can call him a hypocrite.
However, anyone else who has an issue with those fooLball players but not with him, is.
