NFL supports free speech and expression?"

In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling for each game to pray, they also

had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his blackout to avoid glare and

made him take it off.

In 2013 the NFL fined Brandon Marshall for wearing green cleats to raise awareness

for people with mental health disorders.

In 2014 Robert Griffin III (RG3) entered a post-game press conference wearing a shirt

that said "Know Jesus Know Peace" but was forced to turn it inside out by an NFL

uniform inspector before speaking at the podium.

In 2015 DeAngelo Williams was fined for wearing "Find the Cure" eye black for breast

cancer awareness.

In 2015 William Gay was fined for wearing purple cleats to raise awareness for domestic

violence. (not that the NFL has a domestic violence problem…)

In 2016 the NFL prevented the Dallas Cowboys from wearing a decal on their helmet

in honor of 5 Dallas Police officers killed in the line of duty.

In 2016 the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats to

commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11.

So tell me again how the NFL supports free speech and expression?"
