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.

You don't need to demand government censorship in order to be a snowflake. Many on 'The Left' do not demand government censorship and yet they are still snowflakes if they are oversensitive little whiners. Getting offended because someone was 'insufficiently patriotic' makes you a hypersensitive idiot as well. Their little protest hurt literally no one. I'm not sure why people are crying about it, other than them worshiping songs and flags like mindless idiots.
You don't even have to agree with what the protestors are saying in order to realize that all the people whining about this are weak-minded and pathetic.

Way to convince them to support your argument! Call em cocksuckers next, that should really make them listen!

I don't care one bit about the efficacy of their protests. I am only saying that people offended by the mere fact that they decided to kneel down during the anthem are, in fact, hypersensitive snowflakes. I don't care about their feelings anymore than I care about the feelings of some moron complaining about cultural appropriation.

You're entitled to think what you like. At least until the SJWs get into power.

I don't see what that has to do with oversensitive little snowflakes being offended by the microaggression of people kneeling during the national anthem. SJWs are snowflakes and so are these people. Multiple different groups of people can be snowflakes.
