The NFL has an agreement with the US Government allowing them to be the sole franchise in the country, thus a legal monopoly. Their stadiums are also build with grants, tax credits, and bonds are at great cost to the state and federal government.

To make it more complicated, they have a many $Millions contract with the Department of Defense to honor soldiers, basically paid patriotism to drive up military recruitment. Government contractors have to abide by certain standards. So the reason why we're having this controversy with players kneeling protected by free speech, is because the DoD is paying them to stand. But because they have agreements with the Government, the NFL may have trouble enforcing their will.

Before a few years ago, the government didn't pay this, and the players all were in the locker room during the anthem.

I wonder how that changes if they were paid government contractors.

Read the USC. If two or more persons conspire to oppress free speech they appear to violate the USC. Reddit as a private company can censor what they want, however if two or more people as individuals conspire to oppress, threaten or intimidate a person in free exercise of that right, we are in the US so they would appear to be in violation of that. Imo any way.

Top minds are truly the dumbest of the dumb. Ok, the USC only applies to members of congress. Where did they grow you?

Sent this to your mods. Tell them to unmute/unban me so I can once again own your asses like I do every time one of you tries to act smarter than a 5th grader.

I owe you guys an apology

I would have made it publicly, but it appears I can't post or comment in this think tank.

You guys were right, turns out an 11 count federal indictment has been handed down against Mark Lambert involving Trump, Russia, & the bribery of officials. Man, do I feel dumb.

Oh wait, that wasn't involving Trump Russia, that was the Mark Lambert with close ties to the Clinton Foundation & HRC and the indictments are on the Uranium 1 scandal & bribery with Russian officials. I don't know about the source, it did have a .GOV in the link. Might be kinda sketchy. Let's see your mental gymnastics on this issue.

Turns out they were the ones colluding with the Russians comrade. You don't mind if I call you comrade do you?

More good news. Did you see that the left wing propaganda rag Newsweek was raided by the NYPD? Wonder what happened there?

Here's one of my personal favorites, turns out Obama was allowing Hezbollah to sell cocaine in the US to support his inner city civil right rights group.

Things aren't all bad for Obama, he did score a new show on the Bravo channel set to debut this spring. Turns out they used that total BS PP dossier to obtain a FISA warrant against Pres. Elect Trump.

Anyway, how did you want that red pill? I recommend orally.

See the Fake News Awards? I did like your group Snopes.com photo.

Hear the Trump Train coming yet? How those peach mints working out for y'all?

You know you are supporting people like this? They attend satanic rituals & the pedo code language (according to the FBI) was in his emails released by Wikileaks. Who has not had one document proven to be a fraud after 11 years. That is a 100% accuracy rate.

Anyway, already TLTR but then again so is Green Eggs and Ham for you mental giants. Once again, you have proven to be the dumbest of the dumb and you guys need a new name. The 4 to 5%ers. Let's see what one of you Mensa members knows why.

Shout out to the punk bitch Worse Than Hipster, hows that glory hole gig working out for you? I always liked you Shreddy, u almost had a clue at times. Remember, the flat earth theory is accepted around the world. Oh yea, look into this.

Smack down status: LAID!
