I mean the NFL players feel like something is an injustice, so they do a dramatic legal protest before doing their job, then do their job.
Davies felt like something is an injustice so she refused to do her job point blank and broke the law in an illegal protest. Yet conservatives are outraged at the former and celebrated the later.... It makes no sense. When is Colin Kapernakawakabakanerick going to get a roaring crowd as he struts around to eye of the tiger?

Basically no one has strong consistent opinions on procedural issues like "should people be fired for political activity"; their concerns, probably rightly, are with what the political activity is.

The Kim Davies thing not personally effecting them is probably a factor for a lot of people. People don't care about things that don't effect them. I'm sure there's a lot of people who are just flat out against gay marriage though and didn't care for that reason.

The guy was trying to save his job by making himself a martyr for civil rights, plain and simple. The old message about police brutality has long been dead and buried.

Generally, people on the right have a deep respect and love towards the police, the troops, and authority in general to the point of being stupidly blind to their abuses and faults.
They also have fallen for the propaganda that protesting the corruption and abuse of authority figures means you hate said authority figures in general. This propaganda is used by Republicans to stifle criticism towards any authority period. Then there's Kim Davis, who protested gay marriage. The people above either hate and despise gay people or just don't give a shit at all since gay people not getting married ain't their problem. --- https://imgur.com/hslUvRN When I sin I sin real good. ...

He didn't start protesting until 2017. So the idea that "he didn't start protesting until he was benched" doesn't really hold up because he was benched and then didn't protest at all for the remainder of the 2016 season. --- ...

With the exception of the troops, this applies wholeheartedly to liberals. Liberals love cops so much that they use their mere existence as reason to say you don't need a firearm for self-defense. That isn't an exaggeration - that was the argument Washington, DC used to support their gun ban that Heller struck down as unconstitutional. 'If an attacker is upon you, call the police.' This can only come from a zealous love of government authority, regardless of the numerous faults of law enforcement. Add in the fact that liberals support jailing people for thoughtcrime, and the fact that every criticism of Obama and his policies has been handwaved as racism and still is to this day, and I gotta wonder if you have any amount of self-awareness whatsoever. --- 'It's okay that those gangbangers stole all my personal belongings and cash at gunpoint, cuz they're building a rec center!' - OneTimeBen ...

I have the same view on both. You arent entitled to protest in your job Service members see things civilians dont all the time and would strongly protest things, but arent allowed to protest in uniform or say certain things. These people are way more deserving and educated to speak or protest on certain subjects, so they can stop crying, both of them. Not like either was good at their job.
