One wonders why the head coach didn't do this from the very beginning.
Does anyone here think that original Miami Dolphins owner Joe Robbie or legendary Coach Don Shula would have waited around to "test the waters" of public opinion first?
Or would they have done what was right from the beginning.
Unlike the Jerry Jones situation—wherein not a single Dallas Cowboys player has knelt for the national anthem in the 2 years since this controversy began—the Miami Dolphins have revealed themselves to be a third-rate franchise lacking discipline at this point. Is it any wonder the Dolphins have an offensive line coach snorting coke before team meetings?
It's finally dawning on Head Coach Adam Gase that his -ss is on the line here. It's too bad he didn't show some leadership before now. Instead, he's following the turbulent winds of public sentiment.
As for the Miami Dolphins—my team, which once posted an unprecedented 17-0 perfect season in the NFL—oh, how the mighty have fallen!
They play us for fools, they think they can kneel on our flag and then we will come back slobbering for more football after they ‘see the light’ and finally put some smackdown on the players.
They can F OFF AND DIE.
