18. Wrong. The implication that team leadership behaves undeniably illegally but condemns legal protest.

Mon Oct 9, 2017, 10:02 AM

Oct 2017

It is perfectly legal to protest.
It is perfectly legitimate to engage in respectful protest.

Taking a knee is more respectful than planning and staging an expensive taxpayer-paid protest involving Secret Service security and inconveniencing thousands of fans with security screening.

Blatantly breaking the law in team offices before a team meeting is disrespectful to say the least.

Yet you think you can come on here and condemn the woman for not being "classy" and think that excuses the illegal behavior of the team management?
