    There’s no reason to arrest him, he didn’t break any laws.

    By unfurling a flag that represents an enemy nation and its people, he is threatening the reputation and profits of the NFL franchise. This is a more dangerous act than the violation of any law (which - hey, fuck it - not like people don’t get away with doing that shit all the time).

    He’s lucky he left the stadium with a pulse.

    only can they decide to ban him for that but they may be able to sue him for breach of contract or something.

    It was, without a doubt, a brave and revolutionary act. Americans hate that shit.

      He luckily left the stadium with a pulse? What the fuck are you talking about?

      The NFL and the security forces they employ, do not murder protestors. I speak with some authority on the matter here, as I have previously been employed by the NFL as a security personnel.

      Statistically speaking, a stadium during an NFL game is the safest from being murdered an American will ever be in their entire lives.
