So only liberals have the right to protest now?

If the NFL did the same thing day one with Kaepernick, we might not even be having this discussion.

Again, if MLB did nothing (like the NFL), I think that would be staying neutral, By taking the affirmative step of suspending the guy without pay, I don't think MLB is staying on the sidelines. Doing nothing would have been staying on the sidelines. Saying that you can kneel during the anthem, but saying that you cannot disparage BLM, I think they are saying something.

But entirely possible I missed your point.

Correct, if the NLF suspended him for one day, I would have supported that 100%. But if a white player bashed BLM in the NFL, I bet he would be suspended, too. Political correctness has created an enormous double standard.
