Where does he think this right comes from? The constitution? Federal or local laws? He's simply wrong, as is Kaepernick and the other dumbasses who kneel and think they have the "right" to. The owners have the right to fine them, or suspend them, and let them go when their contracts are up. And if they don't listen to coaches and owners, there's a good possibility that they don't get picked up by another team. Boo Hoo.

Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio: Players Have a ‘Right to Protest During the Anthem’
The NFL has a entered a summary judgment to try and get Colin Kaepernick’s collusion grievance against the league, thrown out of court.
As Pro Football Talk reports, NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith confirms that arbitrator Stephen Burbank “has taken the matter under advisement.”
However, buried deep within paragraph five of Mike Florio’s piece about the NFL’s summary judgment, is a very curious claim about the rights of NFL anthem protesters.
After citing the the contention of Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills, who claims that the anthem issue can’t be fully resolved without first addressing the league’s alleged blackballing of Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid, Florio makes this claim:
As Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills recently suggested, it’s hard to resolve the issue over the anthem with Kaepernick and Reid still shunned for their unique roles as leaders of the movement that made players aware of their right to protest during the anthem.
This is absolutely false. There is no recognized or codified right for NFL players to protest during the playing of the national anthem. This right does not appear anywhere in the NFL’s rules or guidelines. If it did, the NFL could not have acted so unilaterally in changing the anthem policy in May.
