Tennessee Titans player Rishard Matthews tweeted Thursday that he’ll quit the NFL if the league implements a rule forcing players to stand during the anthem.
“No I will be done playing football,” Matthews tweeted and ultimately deleted when asked if he would be willing to face punishment for not standing if a new rule is implemented.
This is a very dumb tweet, for multiple reasons. Matthews is forcing himself into a corner. What will he do if a new rule is passed, and the Titans call his bluff? He’s going to be out of a job that pays millions simply because he won’t stand for the anthem.
That’s not smart business. This wouldn’t be a problem if he had simply tweeted that he’d be very upset, but instead he took it all the way. Should be really interesting to if he ends up following through on his threat or not.
Thank you I was getting disappointed I hadn’t seen the cowboy.
..........if he quits then I will respect him for putting his money where his mouth is!
Kneeling on the sideline is just a cheap shot and
showing off...........................by comparison.
I would bet a hundred bucks he doesn’t quit and stick to it!
The LFA awaits!
Good. Let him quit.
He will blow thru his NFL money in a couple of years.
Then he will be back selling crack in the hood.
Adios a-hole.
I am reminded of Dr. Seuss’s book entitled:
Marvin K. Mooney, Will You Please Go Now!
B-o-o h-o-o.
Yeah, yeah... just like all those celebs who announced they’d move to Canada if Trump won.
Good...
Leave already...
Adios Mo Fo.
This guy was a marine?’
Way to adapt, improvise and fail dude.
Mr Smith got fired from his CFO job when he returned to the office, losing his $200,000 annual salary and $1 million in stock options.
At last check, he and his wife and four kids are living in an RV and are on food stamps since he can't find anyone to hire him.
Mr Smith may have a new border soon.
Does “too far out in front of his skis” fit here?
What an idiot.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
It would be a “win-win”, but these leftists always lie.
Ah, stories with happy endings. I sure hope his kids will grow up to know what happens when you do dumb things. Can’t say much about the wife - probably a fellow SJW.
Well . . . Bye!
NFL practice squads are loaded with players who are this close / to making an NFL roster. I am sure the vast majority would be happy to stand for the flag.
