On Monday’s Mark Levin show, Bill Cunningham fills in for Mark. Pundits at CNN, MSNBC and ESPN talk about the NFL players having a right to speak under the 1st Amendment. However, the 1st Amendment does not and never will apply to private employers. Also, the NFL owners have prohibited all kinds of expression. Last year the Dallas Cowboys were prohibited from honoring murdered cops with police decals. And Avery Williams wanted to wear a patch that said “never forget” to honor 9/11 but the NFL would not let him to wear it. How in the world was it possible for the NFL to let Colin Kaepernick begin this protest is beyond reason? Sports should not be a venture which communicate the most radical elements of the progressive agenda. After that, there is a differential to one’s opposition to the president and one’s opposition to the American flag. We may disagree with President Trump’s policies, but this hatred must not be transferred into disrespecting symbols of America’s greatness. To add, Barack Obama invited Black Lives Matter organizers into the White House after the Dallas police shootings in 2016. Obama failed to condemn BLM and took pictures with those who incited murder of police. The media didn’t point this out because the media supports BLM. What if Trump invited white supremacists to the White House after Charlottesville? What Obama did was analogous. Finally, one of the building blocks of society is law enforcement. Without cops there is a thin blue line between civilization and anarchy. If it was announced tonight that all law enforcement will go on a 48 hour strike, all hell would break loose. Law enforcement must be supported.
