"SNIP...........


According to a survey conducted this week by the Seton Hall Sports Poll, 84% of Americans surveyed support NFL players’ right to protest—even if they vary on how they feel the protest should be carried out.

16% of respondents say that protesters should be dropped from their team.

The Seton Hall poll surveyed 845 adults, on cell phones and landlines, from Monday through Wednesday of this week. It has a margin of error of 3.4%.

‘Right to protest’ vs supporting the protest

Of course, supporting the players’ “right to protest” is not the same as being in favor of the specific protest: kneeling during the anthem.

for the "NFL Ticket" and/or burn their sports memorabilia. I'm sure after the tantrums pass, they'll be signing up for "NFL Ticket" and buying new sports memorabilia again. So who really wins?

Again, the great "business man" is going to make more$ for his competitors than he could possibly make for himself!
