Denver Broncos star pass rusher Von Miller knew very well that kneeling for the national anthem could cost him money. His teammate, linebacker Brandon Marshall, took a knee last season and lost endorsements.

The same thing happened to Miller on Monday. Phil Long Ford in Denver said it wouldn’t be continuing its sponsorship agreement with Miller, the Super Bowl 50 MVP who is enormously popular in Denver. A spokesman for Phil Long Ford told CBS4 in Denver that it wasn’t firing Miller, but it was in a contract renewal negotiation and Miller kneeling for the anthem caused them to cut that off.

I have been looking for a complete list of all the blacks that disrespected the flag .I am sure it is being compiled. With that list , we will ride them into economic ruin. They are ,in fact, SOBS!!

I think they denied firing him.

Why just blacks? Any ball player who disrespects the flag should be boycotted.

If the Rock can't fix it. Nobody can.

“a complete list of all the blacks that disrespected the flag”

Whites did it, too. They’re equal opportunity traitors, and all should be treated the same.

I have been looking for a complete list of all the blacks that disrespected the flag .

I doubt you'll find a list consisting solely of "all the blacks". There were plenty of white players who joined in the protests yesterday.

[Fightin Whitey]

Phil Long has issued a Non-Denial Denial which certainly appears to confirm that they aren't dealing with Miller any longer.

I’m surprised a lender hasn’t licensed Heart’s song “Alone.”

I wonder why Von doesn't like cops?

In corporate America free speech comes with a price.
