It is in their right to protest, if they want to protest social issues that are happening they should be able too. They can create change because a lot of people look up to them.

I salute the players for standing up for their brothers who are being unjustly decimated by police. They certainly have the right! I applaud them!

Absolutely! It's their right, just like every other American citizen. I wish someone would hire Colin Kaepernick!! What a waste of talent and how chickens^&* of owners not to do so.

I read the no comments and what they are saying is complete bull yes they are paid to play sports but they are also people and last time I checked people are allowed to voice their opinions and could protest as long as they don't go overboard and start doing illegal crimes I don't see a problem.

Athletes have first amendment rights as much as anyone else! They are leaders and are looked up to by young people...They are role models and should take political positions.

I don't think protesting should get in the way of a game or a sports season. It gets too political.

Rick Herget

They are being paid very highly to PLAY a GAME. They should DO THEIR jobs like the rest of us .

Ric Pruitt

fire em ALL , end pro basketball, who cares!

Kimmy Wasatch

They are paid to play a game, And paid really high salaries They are athletes, not politicians and should not politicize sports.Just another example of pandering which prolongs unrest and violence..

Robert 'Lew' Lewandowski

Sport is entertainment. When it stops being entertaining, there is no longer any reason to watch.

I do not care about any athletes political ideals. They get paid huge sums tp play, so play, if you dont then I do not watcg.

Larry Ewart

Don't most people protesting social issues do so on their own time? I think it is very weak just because you have a forum.

Nancy

They can believe what they want. But to protest not to play when they get paid millions of dollars to do is ridiculous. Just makes more people not want to watch sports.

Kevin Johnson

sports are recreation and entertainment. tired of the political crap.

A lot of revenue and deals have been made

William Schwabe

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.

k san

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!
