I agree completely. Now that the demonstration has been seen and everyone knows what it is, I expect at least a smattering of boo's will be heard in many cities.

I have no issue with the players doing this. The typical NFL career is short, the contracts aren't guaranteed and the owners are all still making tons of money, just a little less than they used to. For the most part the players in sports get a lot of the blame when there are labor problems but for the most part the owners should be the ones who are blamed. Very few NFL players retire rich.
