Nfl Pros And Cons
It can be stated in the first amendment of the Bill of Rights that citizens have their freedom of speech protected under the protection of the government. However, when it comes to the occurrence where a NFL player, or in other words an employee, is fired for kneeling during the National Anthem, it is not the case.While it may be perfectly legal to kneel during the national anthem, it is not illegal for the NFL organization to fire those players. This is primarily due to the fact that the NFL is a private organization, not a public-government owned one. Due to the fact that the NFL is a only a private organization, where the government cannot perform any actions of interference, the NFL has the full-found capabilities upon firing players for whatever reason it declares. …show more content…
The school will win the debate due to the fact that the school, of which the players were on was a private school. Since its a private organization they have the ability to enforce whatever it declares right or wrong, regardless of what the Bill of Rights states. It is due to this that the school-the private school- will win the case. It, just like the NFL is a private organization, and can enforce whater they find just within their system and will win. However, if this case were in the perspective of a public school, where the students are being punished for kneeling, have the ability to sue since there is state action- the schools decisions- and also they most likely will win since their was isn't any forms of negative freedom of speech. The court case will be brought up to the supreme court since there was state action(the school). The students will most likely win since the freedom speech can be considered as a type of silence, which does not perform any form of negative connotation. Since it wasn't negative the students will most likely win the

    I can not say that I totally agree with the case. I do believe that this case shouldn 't have been thrown out and a thorough investigation of the bleachers should have been done. How many times has this happened? Do the school have monthly equipment checks, where they check and see what condition of their equipments including bleachers are in? What happened to Mrs. Boyer and her friends shouldn 't have happened if the school would have checked out the bleachers before the game started. The high school should at least pay for any injuries that were caused by their…

    As the student is giving the prayer there is no open forum as would be the case during public speeches. Without this in place, prayers before sporting events are not considered to be public speeches but are considered to be sponsored by the school. The new policy the school had to elect students to be the spokespersons to deliver the prayers was also criticized, leading the justices to believe the school was still controlling the process. The Court found the voting process that was used by the district of voting for if the prayer would be given at an event and who would give the prayer also caused rival political factions between different religion groups at the school. The voting process would create a majority win over the different religions within the district and that would be the religious voice that all would hear. The policy the district has fails to protect the rights of the minority of students. All the factors resulted in the policy of the district to be…

    In today’s world of sports, teams are utilizing illegal methods to win and have an advantage over competitive teams. In the NFL one of the biggest teams in America are the New England patriots. They have utilized their creative illegal strategies to beat competition. The team has been known to be one of the top superior teams in the league, however, they have also been known to utilize illegal tactics and strategies to win. A few years ago the New England patriots were under fire for allegedly spying on other team’s plays and coaches hand gestures. They were caught spying on the New Jersey jets plays using cameras and hidden microphones to learn their offense and defense of plays. The scandal reached the public community…

    In the article Trump to “NFL Protests: Standing with locked arms is good, kneeling is not acceptable” by Caroline Kenny, the author explains that Donald Trump used a very harsh language against the NFL players that took a knee during the national anthem. In the article “Seahawks, Titans, Steelers Stay in Locker Rooms during National Anthem as More Players Protest” by Katherine Iam, the author will explain the same thing and also states how Donald Trump kept tweeting about the NFL players that knelt during the national anthem and said that all the players need to be fired and wanted them to get out of the field. I personally believe that standing for the flag should not be mandatory especially in the U.S., because it is known as a country where…

    Taking a Stand in the NFL People, as well as the NFL, believe in different objectives for culture and the roles they play in society. How a sport is played is one-way culture influences the game. Whereas, how society acts during the National Anthem is another. Whether one stands, sits, or kneels during the National Anthem is their own right- as exemplified with Collin Kaepernick who has knelt for the National Anthem these last couple of years. This results in NFL teams straying away from picking him up out of free agency during the off season.…

    In the midst of the debate over our national morals, a key issue I wish for budding scholars to discuss is whether coaches should punish their players for kneeling during the national anthem. In my opinion, coaches have no right to “bench” their players for exercising their free speech; a liberty on which our nation was built. While it may be seen as disrespectful among the white majority of NFL coaches, to the players who fall victim to issues of police brutality and negligence by our current administration, they are using peaceful defiance to stand up for the lives they hold close. Who are we to criticize this resistance when it will eventually go down in history as martyrous? Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, and countless other athletes are…

    Refusing to stand, such as kneeling and locking arms during the national anthem has quickly become a questionable action by Americans. President Donald Trump has recently released a statement on the topic explaining his thoughts, which are that Americans, especially professional football players, should be penalized for refusing to stand during the national anthem. All of this started when Colin Kaepernick, a famous NFL football player, refused to stand during the national anthem. Kaepernick’s argument was that he felt all of the freedoms and rights were not being upheld by America (discrimination, oppression, and police brutality). While some Americans may be angered and feel disrespected, those who are taking action have the right to do so, due to the first amendment.…

The athletes should spend time outside of being under the camera and make a difference in their community if they want change so bad. These athletes have an impact on adults and the youth on what they should believe in. Athletes should not be allowed to express their own beliefs during games as workers are not allowed to preach their beliefs to their customers.Should these athletes be using the platform such as the NFL, to promote the social injustices that the minorities are faced with in today's…

    NFL players in the United States have taken a stand, or I should say a knee, against police brutality and racial discrimination. Players who kneel for the anthem have shown strong distaste against the American flag; these protesters have shown disrespect to the brave who have sacrificed their lives for each individual you see every day.…
