Kelly Stafford, the wife of Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, is now apologizing for her 2016 criticism of Colin Kaepernick’s protests against the country during the national anthem.
The NFL wife took to her Instagram account in abject apology for her initial patriotic reaction to Kaepernick’s anthem protests. She is now vowing to go all in to fight “systemic racism” and “social injustice.”
In her Sunday morning post, Stafford says her note is something the couple has “been thinking and talking about for several months.” Then she apologized for “not listening” to those who have claimed that the protests against the country were never about the flag or the military. The post also tells fans that she and her husband pledged a $350,000 donation to “endow a social justice program for UGA Athletics.”

Did she apologize for her Lions fighting to be the bottom rung of the NFC?
If it wasn’t about the flag, why did it have to be during the anthem? Why not at halftime? or after the game?
The bubble around these rich athletes and their families must be nearly impenetrable.
Young people were not into the NFL, and older folks are leaving in droves.
Frankly, if it wasn’t for gambling and Fantasy Leagues, the NFL would be in much worse shape.
It was a better world when athletes had to work in the off-season.
Hsit like this is why NFL football is passe’.
Hsit like this is also why college football is on thin, melting ice.
Today’s NFL kneelers were yesterday’s college players, and vice versa.
Looking at you, Kenny Stills.
Yeah unfortunately they did pretty well last year revenue-wise. All of that stuff you mentioned helps a lot. I partake in none of it so the NFL is dead to me.
but I have to be frank. I know no other Republican or conservative besides me and folks on this board that plan on stopping watching. Nobody can give up anything today
these are people from the what, now......?
“It was a better world when athletes had to work in the off-season.”
You got that right. We did it to ourselves. The fans threw money at them.
I don’t know if there is a fan rebellion going on, but I have my own personal rebellion going. I only watch golf.
If I can, anyone can.
Sounds like Brees’ wife was ordered to make some phone calls as part of her pennance.
I think Mrs. Brees and her handlers have been making phone calls.
:)
10 and want to are very different things.
Of course they can. But they wont. I know it’s hard to accept for us but it’s just the truth.
There are a lot of exciting young players like that quarterback from Kansas City that will keep it going for a while. But sooner or later it will die
She must be a fan of CNN and MSNBC.
Kelley changes her mind every 28 days...........
The NFL has been dead for me a few years now.
“It was a better world when athletes had to work in the off-season.”
Not for Jim Thorpe.
I’ve despised the Olympics since 1992’s “Dream Team”.
The NFL wives occasionally party together.
Someone talked to her.
“Gee, Honey...shut the f up, will you?”
