Antonio Cromartie's wife claims his anthem boycott was why Colts cut him (Feel good story)

Antonio Cromartie's wife took to Instagram Tuesday to blast the Colts and claim that her husband's kneeling during the national anthem is the reason he was cut by the team.

““You are nothing more than an entertainer. Just shut up and do what we say. … One things for sure I know my husband was told Not to take a Knee and he went with his heart and he took one. And that cost him his Job ... and Clearly this Statement backs that up… Just Paid to put on a show,” Terricka Cason said in a since-deleted Instagram post (via the Indianapolis Star).

Cason's allegation refers to Colts owner Jim Irsay's comment earlier this week at the NFL owners meetings that games weren't the proper venue for protests that are responsible, in part, for the league's sagging TV ratings.

Cromartie and multiple NFL players have emulated 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who started taking a knee during the national anthem to protest racism and oppression in America.

What’s ironic is that Jim Irsay is a foaming at the mouth libtard.

That’s right. Same for the rest of us. If I talk politics with customers and the company gets complaints, I get fired.

Maybe he can get a “Diversity Scholarship” in “African American Studies” to help offset supporting some of his illegitimate kids

“Antonio Cromartie’s wife “

Wait. Doesn’t this guy have an entire football team of children with 4, or five different baby mommas? Which one is his wife this week?

From Wikipedia:

“Cromartie has fathered at least twelve children with eight different women.In March 2010, the Jets provided Cromartie with a $500,000 advance so he could make outstanding child support payments.”

Uh, no. Your husband got cut because he let the other team score more times than he has children out of wedlock. That’s a lot.

What these “take a knee” people do not understand is that, when they are on the field, that is their workplace and this is company time. Freedom of speech has nothing to do with it. The first amendment only guarantees that the government will not punish you for political speech. But bringing your politics to the workplace is forbidden by many companies. As a former employee of one, I knew to practice my politics during my own time.
