Try harder, since literally no one is arguing against their right to protest.

Literally people are telling them they should stfu and play football, and that the nfl shouldn't allow them to protest, even silently.

Which is their free speech right. The first amendment protects you from government action silencing you, not from people criticizing you.

The players have the right to protest, and people have the right to criticize them for it.

BLM is a farce.

This guy recently used the PPCS (a BJS survey of over 70,000 people) to debunk its main talking point -- that police brutality is epidemic or at least so common that it warrants national protests.

Further, physical force as defined by the PPCS includes relatively mild forms of violence such as pushing and grabbing. Actual injuries by the police are so rare that one cannot estimate them very precisely even in a survey as big as the PPCS, but the available data suggest that only 0.08 percent of black men are injured by the police each year, approximately the same rate as for white men. A black man is about 44 times as likely to suffer a traffic-related injury, according to the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. Moreover, keep in mind that these tallies of police violence include violence that is legally justified.

I suggest people visit the guy's twitter account for a laugh. Deranged leftists who can't let go of this BLM farce tried to challenge his research, with many falsely claiming that this survey of civilians is based on racist police accounts. Others just asserted, "it's wrong and someone, someday will come along and prove what I know to be true!!!!111".
