I'm sorry, but disrespecting the national anthem does in fact affect their job performance in providing the total entertainment value that fans are paying for via ticket purchases or watching on TV through advertising dollars spent on their behalf. Team ownership does not give players free advertising to promote their political viewpoints to the world.
Do you have any studies to back you up?

Please, are you actually suggesting some kind of study is needed to show that team ownership does not give players free advertising to promote their political viewpoints to the world?
Yes, a study is needed to show how team performance is affected and to what extent.

Oh traitorous Bob, while we're on this topic, do you kneel when pledging allegiance to the flag? Aren't you the one who keeps saying you want to see one of our states secede?

PhilX 🇺🇸
People who pledge allegiance to flags are idiots.
Once again Bob, have you ever pledged allegiance to the flag?

PhilX 🇺🇸
I have never, nor will I ever, pledge allegiance to any flag, including the AEP!

This makes you a hypocrite regarding kneeling to the US flag.

Team performance has nothing to do with it. If team ownership feels that one or more of its employees are causing a problem of any kind for the team, as Donald Trump would say, "YOU'RE FIRED!"

Please, I'm talking about an adverse effect a player's actions can have on the operations of the team, including profitability.

Since team performance is related to the bottom line, it has everything to do with it.

Please, NFL teams do not exist to give players an international stage for promoting their personal and political beliefs at absolutely no cost to them whatsoever.
