DirecTV is allowing at least some customers to cancel subscriptions to its Sunday Ticket package of NFL games and obtain refunds, if they cite players' national anthem protests as the reason for discontinuing service, customer service representatives said Tuesday.
Under Sunday Ticket's regular policy, refunds are not to be given once the season is underway. But the representatives said they are making exceptions this season -- which began in September -- because of the controversy over the protests, in which players kneel or link arms during the national anthem.
Spokesmen for DirecTV-parent AT&T Inc. (T) and the National Football League declined to comment.

It's called "freedom of association". It's the way free people act when there is a disagreement or an impasse. You can whine about the optics, be it "white flight", enclaves, suburbanization, separatism, etc., but the fact remains that you either are a free person and can choose with whom you spend time with and money on, or you're just a slave who is locked in a cage with other rats regardless of your personal wishes.
