We’re well into the NFL’s free agency period and veteran safety Eric Reid still hasn’t signed with a team, even though he’s proven to be a reliable contributor over five seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. Last week, Reid said his current unemployment stems from the fact that he has continued to protest social issues during the playing of the national anthem, even with former 49ers teammate Colin Kaepernick out of the league in 2017.
On Thursday, however, Reid announced that he won’t be taking a knee during the national anthem upon his return to the field, instead promising to raise awareness via other methods.
“We understand you have to change with the times,” Reid told reporters after his younger brother took part in Stanford’s pro day for NFL scouts. “I’m not saying I’m going to stop being active because I won’t. I’m just going to consider different ways to be active, different ways to bring awareness to the issues of this country and improve on the issues happening in this country.

this ass clown was one of the loudest anti- American pukes in the NFL
If no team signs him...
Problem solved!
Poor, Pitiful me. I think I’ll eat some works.
He can take a knee in front of his TV.
“Please sign me I need money to pay for my many hoes I promise to be good just let me throw a ball around for a crap load of money and I will pretend I love America”
...Poor, Pitiful me. I think I’ll eat some works...worms too.
Autocorrect helped me write something really obscene here once. I turned myself in.
Oh, heck yeah! Where are your principles, Dude. Take a knee. Stay home during the NFL season. Who cares, you putz? It never occurred to you that this might be an issue? How boneheaded can you be?
LOL. I grew up in the small town of Orick. You should have seen what autocorrect did with that.
I don’t even want this loser cleaning my septic tank. Hahaha.
He finally realized the Escaladed, bling and hoes are over.
Surprise. Owners and coaches don’t want a guy who is not a team player and who brings negative baggage with him.
I'm STILL NOT watching the NFL.
Die, NFL, die.
And while we're at it:
Die, Facebook, die.
I'm done with the NFL unless the league changes its policy. I can respect an honest difference of opinion over our problems and proposed solutions, but I can't condone disrespecting the flag and the millions of veterans and first responders who have tried to make life better for people here in the U.S. and around the world, sometimes successful, sometimes not.
Well, Eric, I must need a lot of fiber because I don’t give a s***.
We camp in the redwoods every three-four years. It is literally my favorite place on earth. We had lunch at the palm cafe last summer after spending the morning hiking trails.
Nah, probably not.
Meaning he will take a knee if they don't?
I say let him earn a living on his knees.
Its cute he thinks he has leverage to make this demand.
Too little, too late, moron.
