Tennessee Titans Player Says He’ll Quit The NFL If Forced To Stand For The Anthem
Smokeroom ^ | 10/12/17 | David Hookstead

Posted on 10/12/2017 3:06:54 PM PDT by markomalley

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.

..........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!

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.

I am reminded of Dr. Seuss’s book entitled:

Remember Adam Smith, the SJW who uploaded a video of him berating a nice Chick-fil-A drive-thru attendant?

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.

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.

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.
