To which Drew Klenotic replies...

Well, talking about that would really be off topic and would probably
cause more issues... but suffice to say, these people are actors.  Some
of them not even Americans.  I want to be entertained by a TV show.  I
don't want all the press about it to be about what the actor playing the
Captain of Discovery thinks about people who voted for the current
president, or how they all made a big "stand" (kneel) in support of NFL
players who want to protest the national anthem.  (For that matter, the
same goes for them.... shut up and play football).  Sure, they can
express their opinions, but do it as private citizens on their own time.

None of us would probably be able to protest on our company time and get
away with it.
