Forced? It is only forced if you do not have patriotism or respect of your country.

Respect, as in deference. It's fine, I'm in no way surprised that you don't understand it.
respectful submission or yielding to the judgment, opinion, will, etc., of another.

I think you missed my point. I can do that, and he can fire me. I have free speech, but there are repercussions to such speech.

You mean like the thread about the “cry closet” at university, even though it didn’t directly affect the OP at all, and no one is forced to go into the closet? You mean like that?
"University" = emotionally stunted weak "adult" factories.
“Football fans = mentally stunted “hold my beer” types.

I'm confused now.
I thought when this all started that the players weren't actually protesting the country.
How it turns out they are? Because that seems to be the tone of this discussion ... how dare people be forced to show respect for the country.

And history shows no such examples. So...
I doubt you are correct with your assertion. We'll see if anyone gets suspended for six games for protesting.
