Florida citizens will likely be unhappy with this new development in the NFL National Anthem protests. As Dolphin players continue to take a knee or hide in the locker room tunnel during the Anthem, fans are not the only ones tuning out. Police are pissed.
Normally, working security for sporting events is a voluntary detail. Officers, generally off-duty ones, usually sign up and it is a first-come, first-serve basis. Now, police want nothing to do with the disrespectful players. In a protest of their own, they are refusing to volunteer. This puts citizens in danger since officials must force officers off the street to work security for the games.

I guess the next step is forcing the fans to buy tickets and attend the games.
They could do that the same way as here - want to keep your job, then buy some tickets and show up at the game, we’ll be watching for you.
I can’t get into the article to read the whole thing. But it sounds like the city is now having to assign “on duty” LEO that would normally be on patrol in the city to work at the games. They are getting paid the same but are not patrolling for the city. (If I read it right)
I’m not understanding why they can’t hire private security.
Sounds like they need to have an epidemic of the “blue flu”.
Plenty of those firms out there.
Are cops being pulled from other parts of the city to cover the game? Are there areas now left unpatrolled? Or, are additional cops being forced to work...at what is probably overtime rates.
Slap a firearm on the kneeling players...make them patrol the stadium. Oh heck, what am I saying? Management can’t even make them stand up.
Why we're protesting during the US national anthem at American Football games
So either parts of Miami are being less well covered, or there’s mandatory overtime that somebody’s got to pay for. If the latter, bet it’s not the NFL.
I read that over 50% of the players in the NFL have felony convictions. Not sure if it’s true.
Those idiots need to hire and pay out of their own pockets for security. The police need to double their rate, maybe triple it. Why shouldn’t they make millions if football games require armed security?
On the bright side, the LEOs will be able to keep a close eye on the thugs who are trying to kill them.
The LEOs need to think of being at these games as a stakeout.
Private security? Excellent idea. Why not hire black panthers and blm supporters.
Why are police used at all for that private business? Let them hire their own security for the handful of fans that are left. “Suppose they held a game and nobody came.”
Goodell and Colin, thanks to you as BLM/NFL useless idiots, you woke Americans up to the NFL scam on our tvs and in our tax payer stadiums. Your contribution to Americans will be remembered, like 8 years of Obama and H. Clintoon's campaigning gave us President Trump!
NFL = NEW FAR LEFT!
More NFL teams renamed: Oakland Traitors, Baltimore Cravens, Buffalo Bolsheviks, Green Bay Pinkos, Washington Red Guards, Los Angeles Chekists, Jacksonville Jacobins.
The Dallas Cowgirl Pussies!
Plus about half of the players are convicted felons. They can’t carry a firearm!
Act like a University and CANCEL the GAME if No police want to work security.
It would be in the form of a government bailout to a minority business failing because of systemic racism.
That would be illegal...BUT....SCJ Roberts says you can be fined if you don't buy a ticket...../s
