NAACP: "Useful Idiots" of the Left

Recently, the NAACP shamelessly condemned Cowboys coach Jones for insisting that his players stand for the national anthem. 

Speciously invoking the Constitution to justify its position, NAACP asserts that compelling players not to kneel during the anthem is "unconstitutional". If that assertion weren't so painfully ignorant, it would be laughable. 

Three things NAACP attorneys should know--and I'm sure they really do: 1) league rules require players to respectfully stand during the anthem in a clearly defined manner; 2) how the league deals with those players who violate league rules is outside the purview of the Constitution. The kneeling issue is a contractual workplace matter--NOT NOT a Constitutional matter. (Isn't it more than suspicious that the NAACP doesn't cite chapter & verse of the Constitution to justify its position? It knows that such chapters and verses don't exist.); 3) the 1st Amendment limits government interference or regulation of speech; it does not dictate workplace rules of behavior. 

The NAACP's inane and divisive assertion insults our intelligence which, for the NAACP of late, is nothing new. In the modern era, it has become a tool of the Progressive ideological machine whose goal it is to undermine American traditional values and to sow division. And like useful idiots, most NAACP members are in lockstep with their unprincipled Progressive comrades.
