No. I am equating kneeling during the national anthem to urinating on the flag.

That's not an answer to the question of how exercising one's first amendment right to call for disrespectful football players to be fired is a violation of the first amendment.

NFL is not being disrespectful to their customers. 

The ratings show that a large amount of their customers view it differently.

No it just means a large amount of their customers doesn't think black people should be treated the same as white people.

Why? The flag code doesn't say you have to stand.

Lmbo, you are literally equating taking a knee to urinating.
Taking knee is significant in the context of sports and the military.
The rest is you trying to push a narrative.

"Soldiers take a knee in front of a fallen brother’s grave, you know, to show respect. When we’re on a patrol, you know, and we go into a security halt, we take a knee, and we pull security. "- U.S. Army veteran Nate Boyer

You have a right to be disrespectful (kind of like trump).
if you want a totalitarian government, I hear North Korea is open for business.

I think we already talked about this.
The NFL is #1 , they have an extremely large and diverse fan base.
They are going to loose some people no matter  the stance.
It seems like you are frustrated with the point that they chose player freedom over catering to your demographic.

That's some crazy hyperbole in here. I have yet to see an NFL player whip something out and pee on the flag.

Kneeling is not peeing. If you're peeing with your knee, you're doing it wrong.

 

Players have the right to kneel and dissent if they wish to, that is in the full throated spirit of liberty and one I believe our founders would support wholeheartedly. The NFL has the right to handle their actions as they see fit and according to their personal policy. You have the right to not watch if it hurts you that badly. Sue if it truly causes you terrible mental injury and see how far you get. The NFL was already suffering for ratings long before anyone started kneeling.

 

The flag is worn upon our clothing and footwear (yes even on thongs and all sorts of objects) and no one gives a second notice. It's put on bumper stickers, beer cans, doormats, paper towels and napkins. You can make a flag cake. It's hung in people's front lawns incorrectly. The thought that a flag item is currently likely wedged on someone's icky butt on some beach right now gives me pause, but not to the point I feel the need to tell them what they can and cannot wear.

Yeah I find it so fascinating that the people who are complaining about the kneeling (which doesn't go against the flag code) but they're most likely the people who are walking around in shirts with the flag, eating off of plates with the flag etc which does go against the flag code.

Actually the don't have that right. The owners are tolerating behaviors that are not allowed,  because everyone is scared to death of being called RACIST 

 

It's really that simple.

Speculation at best. 

There's a lot of reason why the owners/bosses would want their players/employees to be happy.

So you are not going to elaborate and just give generic answers?
