Doesn't sound much like actual free speech to me.
I'm already answered this. Summary of prior points: One's place of work - generally not the time and place (in this case, I think some NFL owners made a mistake in allowing it). See Detroit / Martha Ford's solution for an example of an NFL owner taking the lead on trying to address this in a positive manner, and taking control of the fan experience. Sports fans go to games for entertainment, and part of the hefty ticket/parking/concession price is to watch a game, not a protest. Fans go to games to escape things like news and politics.
