You can't penalize/punish someone for exercising their constitutional right to a peaceful protest.
Depending on the circumstances, you certainly can. Especially if it is interfering with your employers' business.
Not saying that is what the NFL players are doing(although it could be argued), but this idea that your right to "peacefully protest" at any time, anywhere, is protected by the constitution is ridiculous. Try telling your boss you're not going to be working for the first two hours of the day, to sit cross-legged on the ground to peacefully protest the wage gap between men and women(or some other Liberal flavor of the month bullshit). See what happens.
