So, the team would risk going to court to prove that indulging in a constitutional right reflects negatively on the team, and the consequences if they lose that argument on the big stage...And the second is person actions that reflect negatively on the team, judged by the team.
There is no constitutional right issue here. You really need to register that. Employees do not have a constitutional right to engage in protests in their workplace.
There may be some collective bargaining agreement or employment agreement that is implicated in whether these people can be fired, but it has absolutely nothing whatever to do with the Constitution.

I wonder how this "playing the national anthem is politics" grievance will work out for the left.
You guys better push that one hard.
Yes we know it will not play well to mindless Archie Bunker types.
Those are the types that organizations like the Nazi's are built around.
Mindless devotion and a willingness to follow any order.
Yes, call people who like the national anthem "Nazis". That's the ticket.
