Asked if he advised Tavarres to change his stance, Williams replied: "Yes, I did."
Of course he did. His agent knows better than anyone else that a marginal player has no leverage to make stupid political statements.
Then I think I’ll take a pass on the NFL.
And the NFL told them no.
I don’t think this will go over well even with football fans.

This is going to hurt the NFL.
Let’s see how they handle it. If my tax dollars are paying for their damn stadiums, they will freaking stand for the National Anthem.
Guaranteed contracts.
““Myke does not want to be a distraction to the Philadelphia Eagles organization.”
Wow. . .thinking of someone else other than himself. . .wow.
BOYCOTT !!!
I’m seriously considering it.
If I am not mistaken, didn’t the NFL have a racist past? Why aren’t they protesting the NFL too?
NFL stopped being a manly sport once they had to wear pink for a month.
I don’t blame them from protesting one bit. Obama has been a horrible president for blacks. His priorities have focused on illegals and an open border thus destroying the job market for the lower rungs of the ladder. Raising the minimum wage has destroyed the inner city starter jobs.
They are protesting the Obama administration aren’t they?
Why would you pay for cable or satellite tv to watch commercials during a 4 hour football game where the players make more than coaches and take steroids? They ALL TAKE STEROIDS.
That’s the thing. That’s why the SJWs have been targeting the NFL for decades. You see, the NFL promotes community civility, appreciation for the military, civic pride, and a colorblind society. Can’t have that in liberal land, and when it does happen, good people are going to stop participating or stop watching the game and the league is going to go under, which is EXACTLY what the Left wants.
If they really believed in the “cause” then let them donate their income to groups that fight it.........if not the “sit in” is just a slap in the face to the fans. Fans should stop paying to see the games. Break them financially....money talks.
I am out. I’m sick of these steroid freaks and watching commercials to see them fake it.
