This is eye opening. I did not know all of these occurrences regarding the NFL leadership:In 2012, the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling before each game to pray, & with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his eye-black to avoid glare. They made him take it off.#GIANTSLAYRS

In 2013 the NFL fined Brandon Marshall for wearing green cleats to raise awareness for people with mental health disorders.

In 2014 Robert Griffin III (RG3) entered a post-game press conference wearing a shirt that said "Know Jesus Know Peace."

BUT he was forced to turn it inside out by an NFL uniform inspector before speaking at the podium.

In 2015, DeAngelo Williams was fined for wearing "Find the Cure” eye black for breast cancer awareness.

In 2015, William Gay was fined for wearing purple cleats to raise awareness for domestic violence. (Not that the NFL has a domestic violence problem).

In 2016, the NFL prevented the Dallas Cowboys from wearing a decal on their helmet in honor of 5 Dallas Police officers killed in the line of duty.

In 2016, the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11.

So tell me again how the NFL supports free speech & expression? It seems clear based on these facts the NFL has taken a position against any action by NFL players demonstrating RESPECT for any issue:

For God, social causes such as mental health, cancer, domestic violence, for cops killed arbitrarily, for being cops, or for the Memory of 9/11.

BUT they will allow demonstrations of DISRESPECT for our National Flag, our National Anthem, for America , & for the American People,

if it will mollify a particular Group & its supporters. That is who & what the NFL has shown itself to be.

Honor our military; too many of whom have come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin.
