I hate that pink crap and I’m a girl but that the hands up don’t shoot gets a pass while the Cowboys couldn’t wear stickers honoring the murdered Dallas cops is an outrage.

Goodell is ruining the NFL.

As a lifelong Dolphins fan, I say to Hell with these four players:

Now, on this 15th anniversary of the 9/11 Islamic terror attacks, I'll never be able to forget a new indelible image that has jusr been burned into my mind: the image of 4 Miami Dolphins players kneeling during the national anthem.

And what was happening in the foreground of this video while those 4 classless PUNKS were disrespecting the national anthem?

In the foreground stood a Black United States Marine, in full dress uniform, helping to hold the giant American flag that was being waved.

The contrast couldn't be more stark: one man being a credit to his race, 4 others shaming their race.

I'll never forget it, and I'll never forgive these for Dolphins players for shaming the team in such a way, and showing team DIS-unity.

Shame also on the team ownership, management, and new coaching staff for failing to enforce any semblance of team discipline.

The only thing here that could even slightly assuage my rage would be to learn that Head Coach Adam Gase at least tried to avert such a despicable display.

To Hell with the NFL if they're going to tolerate such behavior.

These 4 Dolphins players don't deserve to wear the team uniform.

I have ONE word for the Dolphins and the NFL and their sponsors:

BOYCOTT

No, they were going to stand with linked arms in solidarity with the 9/11 victims.

Why would [the NFL] need to do otherwise?

All of those people gladly paid for the ticket and overpriced food, and they will be back again.

Wrong. Guess again...

Perhaps, should they choose, the overpaid non-productive ass hats should sit it out.................in the streets.

Every Seahawk player and coach stood, arm in arm, for the Anthem. No one sat or took a knee on the Seahawks sidelines. Just the four America and Cop haters on the Dolphins bench.

Goodell is ruining the NFL.

And getting paid over $30 mil. per year to do it.

No,... Publicly FIRE Them!!!!

Agreed. And void their contracts as well. Use the clause in their contracts that could void any future pay due to conduct detrimental to football.

It is known business practice that employees do not use company time to promote private protests. The NFL players are on company time during a game.

I refuse to watch the NFL

I’m not the only one.

There are plenty of great college games to watch to get your football fix - who needs the NFL.
