45 advocates forced ritual in NFL...

So, for rape or spousal abuse, some turn off their TV's (or claim to).  For peaceful protest, even more actually get off their fat asses and protest back, publically.

Nice to see people got their priorities straight.

So, for alleged murder of blacks by police, millionaire players - gasp - get down on one knee for a minute a week.

Nice to see people got their priorities straight.

"Off-field behavior" meaning political speech or getting caught with drugs, guns, or whores?  'Cause we're talking about political speech in this thread.

And since that's not working out well, people are trying to change the topic.

Well, why not? After all this NFL "issue" that the President is so incensed about is nothing other than a change in topic.

God forbid we should be talking about unimportant stuff like the ongoing Mueller investigation; the continuing repeal-and-replace debacle; Trump's apparent lack of concern that 3 million Americans are in dire straits in Puerto Rico (while others in Texas and Florida struggle to put their lives back together); the upcoming "tax reform" debacle; his adolescent twitter scrum with an unstable, nuclear-armed despot; our deteriorating standing in the world on multiple fronts; the utter lack of leadership in the White House, etc., etc.

Yeah, professional athletes exercising their First Amendment rights on the job, with their team owners' blessings, is the real problem around here.
