Bennett is too dumb to understand that he can protest ALL HE WANTS TO as long as it isn’t on the job. Never having had a real job, nor anyone in his family, nor none of his friends having one, makes me understand his stupidity.
possible exaggeration from Mr. Bennett.
But he does have a hell of an edge move. Good QB pressure a big part of the success of the Seahawks secondary.
Good, let them go to Mexico and Europe!
Then, they can leave their tax payer playing fields here to the liberals in the cities who voted for those stadiums and fields.
The team does “own” you, you traded it for a multimillion dollar contract.
Now get to work.
So what Michael , do you feel you are on the plantation answering to the “ massa .”.
If so theres millions of us who would subject ourselves to that type of “rule”.... for the obsene $$$ you are payed to then show us how if it weren’t for sports you would be out of luck...
Nice Graphic.
Listened to Goodells presser yesterday.
All weasel worded “ we will work in the community”. No specifics and not realizing us former NFL fans already have seen the players / teams out in the communities previously.
So what is it Rodger... Social justice type community involvement.
These guys are role models to many, and your just not saying you “ shall “ follow the already on the books policy re the anthem and flag shows your are just another hired “ slick talker”
Guess what, some of us listen to hear whats new, and you offered nothing....
letter from a soldier:
Commissioner,
I’ve been a season pass holder at Yankee Stadium, Yale Bowl and Giants Stadium.
I missed the ’90-’91 season because I was with a battalion of Marines in Desert Storm. 14 of my wonderful Marines returned home with the American Flag draped across their lifeless bodies. My last conversation with one of them, Sgt Garrett Mongrella, was about how our Giants were going to the Super Bowl. He never got to see it.
Many friends, Marines, and Special Forces Soldiers who worked with or for me through the years returned home with the American Flag draped over their coffins.
Now I watch multi-millionaire athletes who never did anything in their lives but play a game, disrespect what brave Americans fought and died for. They are essentially spitting in the faces and on the graves of real men, men who have actually done something for this country beside playing with a ball and believing they’re something special! They’re not! My Marines and Soldiers were!
You are complicit in this!
You’ll fine players for large and small infractions but you lack the moral courage and respect for our nation and the fallen to put an immediate stop to this. Yes, I know, it’s their 1st Amendment right to behave in such a despicable manner. What would happen if they came out and disrespected you or the refs publicly?
I observed a player getting a personal foul for twerking in the end zone after scoring. I guess that’s much worse than disrespecting the flag and our National Anthem. Hmmmmm, isn’t it his 1st Amendment right to express himself like an idiot in the end zone?
Why is taunting not allowed yet taunting America is OK? You fine players for wearing 9-11 commemorative shoes yet you allow scum on the sidelines to sit, kneel or pump their pathetic fist in the air. They are so deprived with their multi-million dollar contracts for playing a freaking game! You condone it all by your refusal to act. You’re just as bad and disgusting as they are. I hope Americans boycott any sponsor who supports that rabble you call the NFL. I hope they turn off the TV when any team that allowed this disrespect to occur, without consequence, on the sidelines. I applaud those who have not.
Legends and heroes do NOT wear shoulder pads. They wear body armor and carry rifles.
They make minimum wage and spend months and years away from their families. They don’t do it for an hour on Sunday. They do it 24/7 often with lead, not footballs, coming in their direction. They watch their brothers carted off in pieces not on a gurney to get their knee iced. They don’t even have ice! Many don’t have legs or arms.
Some wear blue and risk their lives daily on the streets of America. They wear fire helmets and go upstairs into the fire rather than down to safety. On 9-11, hundreds vanished. They are the heroes.
I hope that your high paid protesting pretty boys and you look in that mirror when you shave tomorrow and see what you really are, legends in your own minds. You need to hit the road and take those worms with you!
Time to change the channel.
“It is very apparent that a significant percentage of the entertainers hired by the amusement enterprise known as the NFL absolutely loathe the customers and their values.”
Exactly. As long as they pretended they were loyal Americans in exchange for their huge salaries, we also pretended we thought they were loyal Americans in exchange for being entertained.
Now that we see what they really are, we aren’t paying for it anymore.
This is called "self-flagellation"....the psychotic act of voluntarily punishing oneself.

It’s sad that anyone is stupid enough to think this way, including NFL employers. I saw my employees as people, but my business was my property. When I paid them to work, I expected them to (1) work - a reasonable expectation, and (2) not offend my customers. They were entitled to express themselves, but if that expression harmed my business they were entitled to find a new job. It had nothing to do with whether they were human and everything to do with the fact that I was paying them to increase my profits, not to cost me money.
Bennett is stuck on stupid. Again.
Poor little Michael Bennett. He can’t tell the difference between an employer and a slave owner.
Don’t they teach that in college?

The ignorance and arrogance of these people is astounding...
