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.

I haven't once argued that it was in any way a big deal. I don't in fact give two shits about it. See? Reading comprehension. Get some.
No, when a protest unnecessarily creates a large portion of the population that will never again listen to anything you have to say, that is what we call counterproductive.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
