My position is agnostic to political spectrum and lefty vs righty issues. Players should be able to kneel during anthems (I actually don't even think we should play anthems). Players should be able to opt out of the military camouflage days. Players shouldn't have to wear or demonstrate support for
anything with fear of retribution or sitting out warmups etc.
Not only is it illiberal but it is counter-productive as it draws attention to the negative over the positive. Why create a system that draws unwanted attention to a player's views?
Frankly, I think people enjoy the quagmire as it allows them to feel good by creating a target upon which they can heap their ideological vitriol.
