If you’re the controlling owner of an entity, unless you’ve been declared incompetent by a court of law, there’s literally fuck all that any other officer can do to stop you from having your wishes carried out.

The OP is telling us that some schlepp who runs the team website has an obligation to stand up to the owners when a player does not, and relatively speaking, yes the player has it a lot easier than said schlepp who runs the website.

Literally hundreds of guys have followed after Kaepernick, and not suffered at all. Not only that, Kaepernick touched a much more sensitive third rail, which is NFL culture and perception around the flag, patriotism and all that bullshit.
