So Much for Individual Rights

"That's his right as a citizen," Kelly said. "We recognize his right as an individual to choose to participate or not participate in the national anthem." [More]
True. And ultimately, contracts notwithstanding, you have a right as a citizen to refuse to participate with him. As does your team owner. Barring that, expect others to exercise their rights as citizens to not have anything to do with any of you.

It's not like professional sports leagues are anything but subversive bread and circuses distractions, and cheerleaders for disarmament.
