Well I doubt that “uproar” will come from those empty stands! d;^)
Please kneel....please.
Quit then, Gerald. You show ‘em!
Hold their paychecks.....that will solve the standing uproar...
They are free to do what they want. Either do what their employer, who pays them extremely well, wants or go protest full time.
You can “uproar” all you want, I won’t notice.
What a dumb-bell. I mean, this guy has the brains of a cork.
It is not a free speech issue. When the players start paying the bills, then they decide what their employees can and cannot do. They are using the platform provided by the owners to express their political views, which hurts business. They don't own the platform and don't have a right to decide how it is used.
Hey, you overpaid dumba$$, the league and owners are saying, “Protest on your own time, NOT on MY company paid TV time!”
DUH!!
Gerald McCoy said he thinks...
Gerald thats why you have a coach telling you what to do.
What part of you are an employee do not these dummies not understand?
The boss says stand, you stand...
If not quit...
When that happens...watch what happens to ticket sales.Watch what happens to the sales of licensed clothing items (game jerseys,jackets,etc).And watch what happens...in courtrooms and otherwise...between the league,the networks and sponsors like Ford and Budweiser.
You punks may be millionaires....but it's always been obvious that your median IQ is around 70.
What these blasted idiots fail ro recognize is the simple fact that the FOOTBALL FIELD is their WORK PLACE.
They can kneel in the middle of Times Square and no one would care unless, “Maybe”, one of them got run over. That, truly is covered aa Freedom of Speech action.
When one is in his/her /workplace, one does what the BOSS/OWNER says, especially if one wants to keep that job.
There are countless business in the junk yard of failure, put there when the company purposly drove away the CUSTOMER. A huge portion of the player’s income is thanks to millions of customers many, many miles away from the emptying stadium. Wise up, guys.
Good. I hope it is. If I recall, it is a contract year for the NFLPA so let’s get the bargaining started. That will complete the demise of football started by the liberal soccer moms and now carried by the millennial PC nazi’s
Players are in a tough spot.
They can stand and look like Goodell’s slaves.
Or kneel and look like Bill Clinton’s interns.
NFL loses either way.
McDonalds is always hiring. “Click”.
“...because you’re basically taking away a constitutional right to freedom of speech...”
Hay uproar guy, please read this: “CONGRESS shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
This says nothing about what the NFL or anyone else can make rules about.
Its TOO late!! The Damage is done. This racist black protest on the workplace and the NFL condoning it has turned this season into a joke and an economic rout for the NFL. I pray the racists just walk out so they can stop getting paid. Who advises these “Son’s of Bitches” . Just WALK OUT!!PLEAZZZZZZ
Who gives a crap?
Why no criticism of the NBA which does ‘force’ it player’s to stand!
