Again, the Free Speech doesn't Fly against an organization that has fined, prevented, or prohibited players from:
* Wearing 9/11 Remembrance Sneakers
* Wanting to wear a decal for the 5 Dallas Cops assassinated by an AltLeft terrorist.
* Celebrating a few seconds too long in the End Zone
* Saying "Dammit" in an interview. Once.
* Using Breast Cancer Awareness Eyeblack
* Flipping the Bird.
* Smoking marijuana, even in the off-season in a state where it is LEGAL.
The NFL has disciplined and told Players they will be disciplined for all of these specific things. Which include shit they do off the field in their own time. The NFL must stop insulting people's intelligence with crappy Propaganda by telling them the NFL Billionaires support Free Speech generally. They clearly and factually do not.

Supporting the military is a simple PR win for any organization. Easy thing to rally around and try to bring the country together.
It's lazy marketing and patriotic at best, it's helping recruit new soldiers and pandering to the public at worst. Anyone who has a problem with this sort of thing is probably a bitter asshole, and that's ok.
What burns my ass is seeing baseball players in camo uniforms, as if they were an extension of the US military. What’s up with that? Is San Diego suddenly a theater of war? And why do US soldiers need to wear camo uniforms when shopping for eyeglasses? There used to be a distinction between battle dress and what you wore the rest of the time, even during a world war. And why on earth is it necessary to fly Air Force fighter jets over the stadium before the Super Bowl? Who authorizes the spend for that? Who are we trying to scare?

I've hated NFL football since I was a kid, I don't think I have actually sat through 3 whole NFL games in my life. And they were all Super bowl parties, and I was probably the one Cooking and taking short orders.
IT would be the only useful thing the Commie Left fuckwads ever done was ruin the once great institution of American football and the heritage of the NFL.
History will love you bastards for it, and I don't think people rush to the polls to vote those commie haters in. If you can't stand for America then what fucking good are you to the American voter and our Republic?

Of course, this new gale of ill-feeling stirred up by our intemperate president, the Golden Golem of Greatness, is driven by the oceanic currents of racial animus that are drowning the country more ruinously than the recent spate of hurricanes. The #Take the Knee campaign was already there, and getting hotter, even before Mr. Trump chimed in. At least he didn’t issue the usual sort of vapid nostrum about “diversity” and all of us getting along. In his blunt, blundering way, he may force the nation to clarify exactly what the beef is.
Surely it’s not about the woes of professional athletes. They are representing the grievances of a different realm in black America, perhaps the places they came from, the city ghettos or the rural backwaters of Dixieland, or maybe even boring black suburbs like Prince George County, Maryland. And the lingering question, to be equally blunt, is: how much is non-black America keeping black America down?
