I'm all for people's right to protest, and free speech. That also goes for people's right to completely avoid the NFL, or pro sports in general. What I can't stand is NOW....out of everything we have endured in the past year, with violent protest where women are assaulted and spit on, for walking into a lecture hall to hear someone speak, NOW..everyone seems to have a hard-on for free speech...because their concerned for the rights of people who get paid millions to throw a stupid ball around. That's where the division comes from. Maybe normal everyday people are tired of being brow beat by wealthy, useless twats, and yet NONE of these people seem concerned about your right to speech, or even have an opinion. I didn't see labron james speak out when a dude lost his entire career for speaking up about the atmosphere at his work place (google). Maybe that's why the country is so divided. Maybe the masses are starting to wake up to the hypocritical bullshite.
