Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews was one of many NFL players who felt personally attacked by President Donald Trump's comments over the weekend against the NFL and its protesting players, most notably the "son of a bitch" reference, and Matthews plans to use his platform to advance the protest.
"I plan to kneel until the president apologizes for the comments that he made, because I felt like those were very disrespectful comments that he made," Matthews said on ESPN's NFL Live on Tuesday. "The league is made up of, I think, ... over 70 percent African-Americans, so the people that would be kneeling for this cause would be African-Americans.
You just go ahead and do that.
Yeah, keep kneeling but just STFU.
Over seventy percent blacks?
I cannot, in good conscience support a racially imbalanced organization like the NFL.
I guess that the DOJ needs to start investigating why the NFL is not representative of the general population. That 70% should be reduced to about 12% under that approach.
I feel the same way about his gestures. So there.
Keep cashing the White Man’s paychecks hypocrite.
yep....kneeling is a sign of respect for Trump...shows subservience...
I wonder if it hurts his brain to be that clueless.
If anyone should be apologizing and immediately stepping down is Roger Goodell, for politicizing the NFL with anti-American leftist garbage, and letting it get out of control.
CGato
You need to apologize to the American people!
Go right ahead
Ever heard of Colin Kaepernick, Dick? What team picked him up?
Go ahead and kneel before your massah.
I know of several people who left the game Sunday and are selling their PSLs, if anyone wants them.
FU Mathews. I called the front office and demanded my Titans tickets be refunded. Selling my PSL seats.
This idiot can barely run the right routs.
“The league is made up of, I think, ... over 70 percent African-Americans, so the people that would be kneeling for this cause would be African-Americans.
...
The NFL must be racist against non-blacks.
“The league is made up of, I think, ... over 70 percent African-Americans”
Isn’t that discriminatory? Why can’t thin, pimply-faced white boys and bespectaled Asian boys play in the NFL?
Seems to me the NFL needs some affirmative action to resolve these racial inequities.
Gotta be racist
How can anything be that disproportionately out of whack, but for racism?
I mean, the only difference, right, is pigmentation of skin? So if every board of directors, every law and med school faculty, every editorial board needs “diversity” in appearance, so too should pro sports, right?
It’s only fair
What brain?

#EndNFLtaxexemption
This is a war between lawlessness and good...Between good an evil...We live as in the days of Elijah...there is a Jezebel Spirit (Ba’al) which is seen in the culture from media to sports and from halls of congress to Rodeo Drive and the God of the Founders who is the one who gave us Inalienable rights
This guy can kneel till hell freezes over and he won’t change that in fact hes on the wrong side...so I move on for the future of the Republic which looks much better since Trump is in charge!AMEN
