Watching the political spectacle in the NFL today is inspiring.
The beauty of it is how this was fell into place. The owners, for the most part, have every legal right to fire or bench players who protest during the national anthem. (They have the right to fire or bench players for almost anything.) Many of the owners are even avowed Trump supporters. Given this, you would think that the players who want to protest have little to no leverage to make their voice heard.
Yet somehow, today, players, coaches, owners, and even the commissioner have locked arms and united with those protesting.
How did that happen?
Trump called for a boycott of the NFL until those players protesting were fired or suspended. Doing so not merely as a prominent public figure, but as a government official and the president, meant that his demand could not be ignored.
This forced many of those had who stood on the sidelines before to take a position – either in favor of mass firings of their colleagues or against.
Even Trump supporter Tom Brady linked arms with his colleagues.
Free speech doesn’t mean that you cannot be fired for your political statements. It doesn’t force anyone to broadcast your statements. But it does force employers (especially of skilled workers that are harder to replace – whether these workers be in the NFL, technology, or translation industry) to make a stark choice when their employees demand to have their voice heard – a choice between supporting the employees who make their company successful or hurting the company’s bottom line.
As we saw today in the NFL, activist employees can indeed make a difference.

Unbiased Ideas
Forward Wing is an alternative to the useless bickering and hate mongering of politicians and news media. It is mentally unhealthy as a society and as individuals to be exposed and engaged in unproductive idle chatter, especially from those who are supposed to be our leaders. Our nation will have a much more effective way of governing if we do away with the political party system as it currently exists. Morality is paramount for a society to be productive. Once ethics deteriorate, the framework of the civilization will ultimately fail. History substantiates this with indisputable accuracy. A governing body needs to be purposefully engaged in growth, toward elevating the human condition promoting meaningful life goals. The only way to do this is by teaching unselfish priorities and moving the focus toward the only actual direction in life.
Good blog!
Happy every day!
