Well, to be fair protesting at home doesn't do a whole lot. However, I do agree there could be work consequences as far as their employment contracts.

haha, I do not talk about protesting in the house, I just say that in public spaces there should be some kind of rules established by the state, that is, you can not be naked or obstructing public places. Just as the constitution and laws are a social contract, the state should stipulate that things are appropriate to do in that space that does not belong to a single person.
So @vieira, are you saying there should be a law that forces you to stand to the anthem in a public place?
Laws like this exist in places such as Saudi Arabia and North Korea, is that really what you want?

Of course not, the responsibility for these acts should be in the hands of the teams and not the people, I said everyone can do what he wants, but in public spaces there should be some respect for the nation. In this case they are in a stadium and no law should restrict that, but in public spaces there are certain things like those that should at least have a call for attention.
This is where we differ, because freedom applies to public spaces as well, and somebody kneeling down for the national anthem cannot really be classed as disrespectful, it is a quite and dignified protest. The team has no more right to impose behavioural rules in this matter, than the government does.

Interesting. There are rules about how we act in Public, they are called laws. There are places we can't bring guns, we can't yell fire in a crowded theater. We aren't allowed in most places to run around naked. etc. etc.
Personally, especially with our current system. I am not a fan of more laws and rules on how people can behave.
I get your point though, and I thank you for sharing it.
