But even if I were, you're still missing the dynamic that one side is the customer, paying millions for entertainment, and the other is the performer putting millions in the bank.
Whatever about the performance displeases them, what's the incentive to remain silent about it? Do they get a game check? Or is it just the warm feeling of being a polite audience?

So all customers supported trolling good players? Did it ever occur to you that there are many fans who want to win at all costs, and are disgusted at fans who put their social activism above winning? Are these fans supposed to be polite about it?
And go ahead and check the timeline. Peters' most visible protest headline was the day of the Vegas shooting before the Redskins game. He took a ton of shit for the protest, signs all over the stadium specifically directed at him in a nationally televised game, and it made national headlines. That week, he snaps at fans who were obviously trolling him. Next week, he snaps at Sutton. Two weeks later, the bizarre Raiders game and his road trip with Marshawn. But yeah, I'm sure that game had little impact whatsoever on his mental state.
