The knee flap, day two. Or is it day three?

Trump called for firing players for their political expression on field.

The response has been a vigorous defense of the First Amendment by left media, players, owners, coaches, and other sports figures, which they probably (and probably rightly) judged would play a lot better with most of America than efforts to support, or even report, the players' racial complaints.

When the left get a heckler's veto at a school or get somebody fired very publicly for political expression that sometimes is not even public they are very clear that the First Amendment protects no one from being fired and guarantees no one a venue to speak.

PS.

Amusing, how often the players' defenders insist they are "smart, thoughtful guys".
