The new face of Monday Night Football

Ten National Football League (NFL) players from six teams protested, in one way or another, during the playing of the National Anthem in the first week of NFL regular season games.
While ESPN reports that only two players knelt during the Anthem, three others raised a fist in protest, one sat on the bench and four more boycotted the Anthem in protest by hiding out in their stadium’s tunnels as it played.
Philadelphia Eagles (1): Defensive End Michael Bennett sat on the bench during the playing of the National Anthem prior to Thursday Night’s NFL season-opener against the Atlanta Falcons.
Miami Dolphins (3): Receiver Kenny Stills and Receiver Albert Wilson knelt during the anthem and Robert Quinn raised his fist in protest.
San Francisco 49ers (1): Receiver Marquise Goodwin raised a fist during the Anthem.
Los Angeles Chargers (1): Tackle Russell Okung raised a fist in protest.
Denver Broncos (2): Receiver Demaryius Thomas and Linebacker Brandon Marshall boycotted the Anthem by going into the stadium’s tunnel during the National Anthem.
Seattle Seahawks (2): Lineman Duane Brown and Lineman Quinton Jefferson boycotted the Anthem, returning to the field after it finished playing.
ESPN has announced it will not broadcast the National Anthem for any of the Monday Night Football games, including this week’s matchup between the New York Jets and Detroit Lions.
Go to hell punks.
The 1972 Dolphins that I saw in person at the Superbowl would have never thought to do this in a million years.
4 of 10 hide...
Perhaps they would have... If they could have gotten away with it.
Somebody opened the door.

Never watch the “ NO FLAG LEAGUE “ Again!!
What is this thing named “NFL Football?” Some type of debating organization?
I really like debating. How does one sign up?
I always say spend your Sunday with family intead of worrying and spending an entire afternoon wTching morons.
I wasn’t paying attention.
I have never been a huge football fan but I saw the demise ages ago.
Jerry Jones mucked up with paying prima donnas to not perform.
The rest of the squad says, “why should I knock myself out? I want prima donna pay too”
When revenue falls short you take the money from the fans
I don’t care how many! Phuck the NFL!
BOYCOTT THE NFL!!!!
I always remind Cowboys fans that spit at me, “the last time you won a superbowl it was on Bernie Kosar”
Jerry had little to do with that, and it’s a LONG dead
streak

I am going to be very happy when the NFL is superseded by another football league that appreciates this nation.
absolutely. It is idolatry of steroid freaks. Im sick of it. I worshiped for years. NO MORE!! I will not support these anti American thugs!! NEVER
All the more reason that it’s inexcusable for the NFL to allow this small minority to ruin the league.
Negros, Felons, and Liberals.
Gar!!!
Scumbags all. NFL is dead to me.
