You desire to be entertained doesn't trump freedom of speech
So you just want to watch football and not have to deal with politics? What if I told you, you have less right to watch football than the people taking a knee during the national anthem have to actually take the knee.
You can express your displeasure all you want, but you have no Constitutional right to be entertained by men destroying their bodies and their minds. You have no Constitutional right to be able to sit in front of the television and tune out the world and what is going on. You have no Constitutional right to go to a movie theater. You don’t even have a Constitutional right to listen to music. Football players, actors and musicians are people. Those who are living in the United States have a Constitutionally given, and some would say God given, right to express their feelings using the stage that they have.
In Peewee leagues, when someone is hurt, every other player on the field takes a knee until the situation is resolved. Right now, Trump, his cronies and his supporters are hurting a lot of people with their policies and their words. They are actually hurting America. Every American has the right and the responsibility to take the knee until these problems are resolved.
Yes, you have every right to express your discontent, to say how disrespectful it is to the country and to say how much you don’t want to see it. You also have every right to stop watching it. Turn off the NFL, don’t see the movies or shows with liberal Hollywood stars in them, and don’t listen to music by liberal singers. However, you have no right to be entertained or assuaged by a weekend away from politics provided by the very people who are expressing their rights.
