CenturyLink is terminating agreement with Brandon Marshall
CenturyLink.com ^ | 9/12/16 | Century Link

“We completely respect Brandon Marshall's personal decision and right to take an action to support something in which he strongly believes. America is anchored in the right of individuals to express their beliefs. While we acknowledge Brandon's right, we also believe that whatever issues we face, we also occasionally must stand together to show our allegiance to our common bond as a nation. In our view, the national anthem is one of those moments. For this reason, while we wish Brandon the best this season, we are politely terminating our agreement with him.”

He speaks only for himself, not for us. Truth in advertising.

Wait a minute. What Brandon did was, indeed, “deplorable” so that makes him one of us!

Whoa. He never expected that, becoming a “Deplorable Black” or “Black Deplorable”.

Welcome to the Big Tent. We have cookies.

Time for all of these posers to be released from their teams. Until then, no NFL in my house.

But it doesn’t protect you from your employers/sponsors from taking their own Constitutionally protected actions if they disagree.

I'm more disgusted with the NFL's refusal to take action against their employees who are insulting their customers than I am with the individual players. As low as my expectations are for the NFL, my expectations for a fringe group of players is much less.

I don’t think it will need the MSM to spread the word. Americans have had a bellyful of this and will vote with their wallets.
