The aftermath of the NFL national anthem protest has not been good for the football league.
Disgruntled fans, low ratings, and very public fights have lowered the public opinion of the NFL to record lows. Now the owners in the league are attempting to take control.
Multiple reports from teams across the league indicate that team owners and management are cracking down on anthem protesters. The Miami Dolphins head coach has ordered his team to stand, according to IJR reporting ... (long story, worth the read)
The report indicates that many players are “scared” to protest, especially if they are not starters, "People have to feed they family,” the one member of the coaching staff says.

Good. When they start firing people, they might actually get somewhere.

Good. If I pulled anything like that at my place of employment, I would be in deep crap. If I even uttered the “N” word and the big boss heard it, I would be immediately fired. So much for “freedom of speech”, right? Welcome to the real working world, NFL thugs.

They are screwing the little guy who sells hot dogs and beer.
They are screwing the taxpayer who will not realize revenue to pay for roads and the stadium.
They are screwing the waitress at bars and restaurants around the stadium who will not be working tonight because there isn’t enough business to support her job.
They are screwing the parking lot attendant.
And so on....

“People have to feed their family.”
___________________________________
Right. Family. The diamond in your ear would feed a dozen families for a dozen years. Suddenly the NFL is about family. Not bling? Not seven cars? Not coke?
Gimme a rest.
