The "no politics on the job argument"

I keep hearing that the NFL is right to force players not to kneel for the anthem because they are the boss and the player is the employee and just like people can’t protest while on the job, neither can players. I would like to start a discussion about how to challenge this argument. For starters:

1. NFL players are not at will employees. They have contracts for performance. Kneeling for the anthem has nothing to do with performance.

Please add. Thanks.
