Excellent. If only this would spread. Imagine an NFL without angry, racist negroes

Well then wouldn't it just be the "FL"??

[Boomer]

Why wait? This player has already broadcast go the nation he is a POS. there’s nowhere to go but down and out from here.

See ya wouldn’t want to be ya....

[Williams]

World needs plenty of bartenders.

[upchuck]

Okay by me if he wants to quit rather than pay homage to the flag and the Star Spangled Banner.

I’m sure there will be many job opportunities for a person with that attitude.

[EnglishOnly]

Wish you Success.

“Imagine an NFL without angry, racist negroes.”

Or, as they are now known, kneegroes.

[Labyrinthos]

There are plenty of jobs outside the NFL where the only job skill is, “can me take yo oder peeze.” He’ll do fine.

[woodenickel]

Don’t let the door knob hit you in the ass on the way out!

[El Cid]

...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...

He could kneel, burn the flag on the sideline, and the NFL still wouldn't do anything (well maybe the Flag Burning part would be cause for dismissal since it adds to Carbon emissions...).

Instead of a knee, he can take a fricking hike to Cuba.

I wonder if the Titans can sue him, for the money they have wasted. Something along the lines of failure of intent to fulfill contract

Get to steppin’

You mean "Gets to steppin'". Admittedly, Ebonics can be tricky, especially conjugation.

[mountn man]

Everything you need to know.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

[jjotto]

They might not have to. Depends on the contract. He got a $2.5 million signing bonus for a three year contract. He’d likely have to give back a third of the signing bonus for opting out a year early.

Pay attention NFL. There are 135 replies to this tweet. We are not playing.

[Albion Wilde]

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.

It is the logical outcome of high schools and colleges giving social promotions to scholastically unqualified guys with formidable football skillz. Eventually, those undeveloped cognitive skillz are their undoing.

Bye Felicia

[gibsonguy]

Well I’m Guessing he knows he can make this threat because that leftist punk Goodell said today no one wil be forced to stand. Time double down and boycott the NFL sponsors too. F-em all.

Apparently, when it comes to selfish, divisive individuals disrespecting the flag, there is an "I" in team.

And there are 2 I's in "IdIot" A word invented for situations just like this. And to think that this guy went to college. Whoever funded his education should demand a refund.
