When I go to work, I don't need my employer to tell me not to sing our national anthem to each guest who walks through the doors.
I don't recite the Pledge of Allegiance, though I feel allegiance deep in my soul.
I don't need anyone telling me I shouldn't take a knee, each time a guest walks through the door.

No one needs to tell me my personal beliefs may not jive with the personal beliefs of others.
I'm paid to do a job, be nice to guests, provide stellar customer service, and provide exceptional product knowledge. My job is to respect others. If even one of these are not followed, I've failed my employer. I will have broken an unspoken contract, simple niceties are an unspoken contract.

Athletes make a helluva lot more than me, with plenty of benefits. Why are they not held to the same standards, any standards?
I'm Texan — football, all sports, is part of my DNA. I cannot adequately describe, no matter how many words in the English language, how disillusioned I am with all sports.
