Goofy, that is the most incongruent argument you have made in a long, long time.  Their pay rate is immaterial to the fundamental right of a business to establish norms of behavior for their employees regardless of their pay rate.  The fact is I can lose a client due to the actions of a technician making $18 per hour just as easily as a senior consultant making $175K per year.  In fact, it is more likely for a technician to cost us a client relationship than one of our senior people.  Pay rate is immaterial.

And think about this fact.  Very few players participated in the protests and yet they alone had a significant impact on the ratings of the NFL since this started.  In 2017 ratings were down almost 10%.  In the ratings business that is a huge drop and dramatically impacts what the networks can charge advertisers and ultimately pay the NFL for the rights.
