FC Dallas defender Reggie Cannon lashed out at fans who booed as his teammates and Nashville SC players knelt during the national anthem ahead of their Wednesday night matchup.
Cannon told reporters he was baffled that fans in Toyota Stadium – the home of FC Dallas – were booing as players knelt in protest of racial injustice and police brutality.
“I think it was disgusting. I think it was absolutely disgusting,” Cannon said, according to MLSSoccer.com. “You got fans booing you for people taking a stand for what they believe in. Millions of other people support this cause and we discussed with every other team and the league what we’re going to do and we’ve got fans booing us in our own stadium. How disgraceful is that? Honestly, for lack of a better word, it pissed me off. ... You can’t even have support form your own fans in your own stadium. It’s baffling to me.”

WOW! That’s like 3 or 4 times he’s blasted fan............ Wait. There were fans? Why?
What’s disgusting is the disrespect for the flag, the nation and the fans.
He thinks it was disgusting.
Well, we think he is disgusting. So that makes us even.
Fans don’t want politics mixed with sports.
They only booed? Slackers! I want to see eggs being thrown!
The people booing are also taking a stand for what they believe in.
I find your kneeling disgusting you ungrateful goober.

Typical fascist liberal response. We are allowed to protest, but you can’t.
He should stick to what he does best, running around a grassy field trying to kick a ball through a netted portal. If he’s baffled and needs an explanation as to why he was booed at for kneeling, he’ll NEVER understand.
There’s a saying from the 60’s - Love it or leave it. Punk.
So a black dude who went to the private Grapevine Christian skool (in a conservative Republican community)
Has no problem criticizing the hands that fed his sorry ass for unpatriotic, unAmerican, racist behavior
And let’s be honest, blacks “kneeling” is what it is. As far as White (with a capital W) players, well it’s avoidance of criticism (cowardly nonetheless)
F this SOB
How about the suckers who buy tickets to support these knuckle draggers? That’s disgusting, too.
Well Reggie , i think you are irrelevant.
Snowflakes have a right to piss on your parade, but it’s disgusting for you to piss on theirs.
I think I would have booed and then left the event.

Trade is ass. I’m in Dallas and his public stupid remarks just ruined his playing and smeared his team. No shortage of virtue signalers out there. I guess Rapinoe set the bar high and easy to emulate now.
