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.
I’m sure this fine man can easily find alternate employment that pays comparably - something in public services that involves a hair net
72 in — I was amazed myself!
Yet he still does not get it.

Bye, Rishard.
There are probably several hundred who would gladly take your place on any football team.
at this point I have no respect for the guy. but if he were to fallow through with his claim that he will quit over standing I might have an iota of respect but I am sure I wont have to eat my words
What happened to the days when football stars went back into their communities to visit schools, boys clubs, and big brother organizations to be role models and mentors to our children?
That is the PR, not the reality.
How about the Democratic Republic of Congo?
Guess he needs to learn the phase..... ‘would you like an apple pie with that Big Mac?’
Buh bye you stupid jerk!!!
That works.
(Cue the jpg: "Well, bye . . .)
This fool is the ultimate loser. I laugh at his lunacy.
Really matters not at this point. The NFL is toast.
Exactly! If it weren’t for the NFL he’d be on welfare or in prison.
The second stringer will be happy to provide the consumers with the necessary skills at this position. The show must go on.
Works for me.
If he had any principles, which he does not, he would give up US citizenship and move to Africa so he wouldn’t be oppressed anymore.
Oh, and I expect there are only a few thousand guys waiting for his job - with more graduating college each year.
Sounds like a plan.
Maybe join up with P.Diddy’s new league? I’ll bet there’s millions of dollars over there.
He puts his race before his job and money. If you’re white, would you be willing to turn black (convoluted thought) for
fifty million dollars?
Nah, the self ordering kiosk has that covered. But he'll be kept busy.
