Watch: NFL players have the right to protest – but here’s the other side of the story

Yes, people are still talking about the NFL. On Tuesday, 11 NFL team owners and representatives standing in for players met to try to untangle the controversy over protests on the field. While they didn’t reach a specific deal in the huddle, both sides called the meeting “productive.”

On today’s show, Pat and Jeffy opened up the phone lines while sitting in for Glenn to invite discussion about the topic of kneeling in protest, which continues to be controversial.

Caller Robert from Alabama clarified that people have a right to protest in this country as long as they are not being violent or breaking the law.

NFL team owners now have to figure out how to mitigate damage to their business if players keep protesting and it alienates fans.

“They also have the responsibility to suffer the consequences, whatever they may be,” Pat added. “As ratings go down and they continue to anger more and more fans, it’s going to affect the bottom line.”

Jeffy pointed out that it’s an issue of perception as well. Some people will always see the protest as a form of disrespect for the flag and the national anthem, regardless of what the players intend to say by kneeling.
