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.

He must be the Colt I saw and it disgusted me. Haven’t watched a game since.
He got canned? Good. Still not watching and haven’t missed it. Screw the NFL.
Mr. Crank

Actually, he got cut because he was the worst player on the worst defense in the league. The Sunday before he was cut he gave possibly the worst performance by a cornerback in the team’s entire history.

[tumblindice]

“The NFL has hit a ratings iceberg.”
And like Pennys and Target, and all the other bold failures who thumb their noses at us, their attitude as they are shooting themselves in the foot over-and-over always seems to be: “Meh, who needs customers?”

[jalisco555]

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

Same here. Seriously, why is this so hard for the NFL to understand? Just make a rule, no politicking on company time. First time you get a warning. Second time, a pink slip. End of ratings slide.

#BLM is a fascist organization.

Their agenda is extreme (almost wacky) socialist, playing into and supporting a very strong racial component. That is the definition of Fascism.

As a side note, they are not autonomous, nor are they grass-roots. They were funded by powerful donors from the start (Soros), and directed by Obama and his DOJ. They have recently received $100 million from the Ford Foundation and some other very statist, marxist-leftist organizations.

Any person who jumps on the coat-tails of their protests is in effect endorsing their fascist ideology. They deserve to be fired, shunned, and protested.

she has been heard before about other stuff too if my memory serves me well.... the 9ers could use her in the stands.. they already got enuf knee down players. as for her hubby,, if life was fair, Bud Grant would have a Super Bowl Lombardi trophy. ;-)

[lowtaxsmallgov]

If I used my employer’s workplace to advance a personal agenda I’d be out pretty quick. That’s not what I’m paid for.

Especially if my agenda is divisive and might have a propensity to turn off paying customers.

Should be pretty simple that even a football player could figure it out. What is surprising is that NFL owners are struggling with it.

[SparkyBass]

Back in the day we Charger (ex) fans had a nickname for one of our cornerbacks Elvis Patterson. We called him “Toast” ‘cause he got burnt so often.

Mr. Cromartie was close to getting that name.

[forgotten man]

I stopped reading as soon as I saw “Antonio Cromartie” and “wife of” in the same sentence. Who could possibly believe that b.s.

[aquila48]

” Just paid to put on a show...”

That’s right, honey. And now you can protest to your heart’s delight.

[ducttape45]

As much as I like the Colts, it’s about damn time the “entertainers” started getting the ax for their unpatriotic gestures. I hope a lot more get fired, especially Kapernick.

[SendShaqtoIraq]

sorry to not have you as a colts fan, but he was fired because he couldn’t stop a 2 year old on the football field

[BobNative]

A very “heart warming” story.

[TnTnTn]

Actively disrespecting the flag, the anthem, and the country should not be tolerated in any work place in the USA. Move to Iran or Raqqa and become a hero. Bratty millionaires should ‘act’ like black lives matter if they believe that false narrative.

[jmaroneps37]

Well imagine that?

[ETL]

Anyone catch the remarks during last Thurs night’s game between the Colts and Texans, where just after the singing of the National Anthem, one of the TV commentators, following a zoom-in on Colts receiver (Dwayne Allen?) kneeling, says words to the effect, “Well, it looks like there’s only one protester today”. Then, about 15 or so mins later they come back to say the player said he wasn’t protesting anything. He was simply doing what he always does following the playing of our National Anthem... saying a prayer.

[airborne]

If that’s the only reason he should get hired by some other team quickly.

Actively disrespecting the flag, the anthem, and the country should not be tolerated in any work place in the USA. Move to Iran or Raqqa and become a hero. Bratty millionaires should ‘act’ like black lives matter if they believe that false narrative.

Kaepernick social media posts laud Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers, since dating activist DJ

“'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.

Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends.

But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur. [aka, JoAnne Chesimard]

During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.”

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Now contrast that jerk with the young Miami Marlins pitcher who was killed a few weeks ago in a boating accident...

“Jose Fernandez -the NL Rookie of the Year in 2013 - came to the United States by boat as a 15-year-old Cuban refugee in 2008. Along the way, he rescued his mother, who had fallen overboard.

However, his beloved grandmother, who Fernandez calls a “baseball freak,” was left behind.

“She’s the love of my life... my everything,” Fernandez said.

The day before winning the Rookie of the Year Award, a shocked Fernandez was reunited with his grandmother in Florida with help from Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria.
