A judge would hold you in contempt for disrupting court proceedings, not for exercising a freedom.
Teachers and union employees go on strike all the time. They aren't fired for it because it's their right to strike. A strike is a form of protest.

You don't see the connection because you don't want to see the connection. There is no connection to employees who strike either. But, since you mentioned it, do striking employees get paid (and I mean by their employer)? Nope. So, my argument about their right to protest at work still holds true. They shouldn't do it while on the clock.
We need to make a few more examples like Kaepernick because obviously some NFL players are too stupid to get it.
