Hey Colin....Never should have done your little dance.

No different than burning the flag.

Now how many millions has your oppressed life accumulated?? Ever given a dime to charity?

Let the spoiled millionaires pay for their own security and security escorts. There’s no reason for the police to provide security to a private function and every reason not to provide it to BLM supporters who want them dead.

If these baby dolphins want escorts they can hire private security. Whatever hits them in their collective pocketbook is a-ok with me!

This is awesome. Hopefully it will embolden other areas to do the same.

If they see the light and start standing again, I’m still done with them. The cat’s out of the bag. We know how they feel about our flag, our anthem and us.

Can anyone on this forum attempt to explain to me the discrepancy between the NFL rules as enumerated in their manual and the quotes attributed to these goons?

In this post it says that it is not mandatory for the players to stand, and it is a personal choice. Yet in other posts, I have read passages from the rules book that state unambiguously that the players ARE required to stand at attention with their helmets in their left hands.

Which is it???

These few ingrate thugs cannot even give their country a couple of minutes before a game. You know, the country that made their game possible in the first place.

Thanks for posting. Glad to see this.

The players talk garbage about white cops killing black people, but who do they rely on to escort them to games? Who do they call when someone breaks into their mansion?

Why do these multi millionaires get an escort paid by us in the first place?

Talk about privilege. And on top of that a lot of these bastards have the audacity to bitch and moan about the police!

Well all they have to do is come to Hillsborough County. The Sheriff there/here will give them a motorcycle escort and a 21-gun salute. Hillsborough County, Florida is a sanctuary county and the Sheriffs Office here will kiss their ass, as long as they give the U.S. military the finger, hate America, and love illegals.

They get paid millions to play a kids’ game.

That’s what Harry Caray said when the baseball players went on strike back in the ‘80s. That’s child’s play compared to this.

I'll be making a YouTube video soon wherein I will be burning my Miami Dolphins gear and memorabilia.

Specifically, I have some Dolphins clothing, as well as some ticket stubs from the proud past of this once great team—a team which has now become a third-rate embarrassment.

For instance, I was there at the Orange Bowl for the "Epic in Miami" on January 2, 1982 to witness the "Game No One Should Have Lost"—"The Miracle That Died". I'll be burning that ticket stub, along with whatever else I can gather.

The fish rots from the head. Current Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross and Head Coach Adam Gase have exhibited a shameful lack of control over team discipline. It has spread like a cancer within the team, to the point where the Dolphins were one of the worst offenders last year with respect to kneeling for the National Anthem.

I can't imagine that original Dolphins owner Joe Robbie or legendary Head Coach Don Shula would ever have tolerated such horrible behavior from any Dolphins player. There would doubtless have been discipline, ultimately followed by dismissal if the player didn't straighten up.

These millionaire players and coaches exist within an elitist PC bubble; they have totally forgotten that they are there to present an entertainment product to the fans—who turn to the NFL to escape politics, not to have Left wing extremism shoved in their faces. The fans are the customers who consume the NFL's entertainment product, and ultimately it is they who pay the players' salaries.

Make no mistake. It is these disrespectful players who are the ones being divisive. They are spitting on the country, the flag, the fans, and—most shamefully—those who have paid the ultimate price so that these ingrates can get paid millions of dollars just to play a game.

Police officer and former ASU football player Brandon Tatum has made an excellent video which absolutely destroys the NFL's divisive and selfish millionaire players who are disrespecting this nation and its people, and who are destroying national unity. Every NFL player—every American—should watch this video in its entirety. It totally hits the nail on the head.

The Dolphins will be in London this weekend to represent their country, and I have grave concerns about the behavior that will be shown. As a lifelong Dolphins fan since before the era of the 17-0 perfect season, I might give the Dolphins one last chance to redeem their legacy by respecting this nation's anthem and flag on foreign soil.

Absent that, I am through with the Dolphins—and probably the NFL—forever. If there remain NFL teams who uniformly stand and place their right hands over their hearts for the anthem, I might switch my allegiance to one of those teams. But, alas, enormous damage has already been done, and though I have no doubt that the league is painfully aware of this, it appears that it is too weak and PC to do anything about it.

We will see what kind of leadership is shown in the NFL moving forward, because the financial viability of this game—an entertainment product—now hangs by a thread. I don't hold out much hope that the NFL will be able to change course, and if they don't, then they deserve the fate that awaits them.

They are all 1-percenters.

They can pay for their own security.

The Nation of Islam would provide security.

Just stop escorting them. period.

Its the NFL’s sucking off public funds, and its management revolving-door with Washington politics, wall street, and mainstream media have turned it into just another insider, crony-capitalist industry run by progressives. Kaepernick was just an inevitable symptom

I live in florida and it is my understanding that many officers work details at games to make extra money. Hope they refuse those as well. Empty the damn stadiums.

Sorry, but this really is a mistake. The sheriff’s office, as an organ of the Florida state government, has to respect the 14th Amendment due process and equal protection clauses, and with it the First Amendment. So if the Miami Dolphins decide to take a knee and violate their terms of employment while in a stadium owned and managed by their employee, unless the owner decides to fire the lot of them and have them removed from the premises right before a game for said violation, the sheriff’s office cannot do squat. Now it really is a free speech issue, thanks to some overzealous cops.

Game over for NFL. Aaron Rogers begged the Packer fans to stand and lock arms as the low life Packer team did last night, but very few fans in the stands heeded his advice. They simply continued doing what all loyal, dedicated, patriotic fans do,(right hand over heart, standing) unlike what the traitor, treason, turncoats Packers and Bears did.

By the way I do not watch the game at all, only the opening minutes with the flag/anthem being flown and played. CBS, of course, did all it could to make things look great for the scum & vermin players.....but Aaron Rogers did not look happy at all during the flag/anthem play, when the fans completely ignored his traitor request. Bye, bye, NFL, NBA!!! Yippee, Trump wins again!!! By this coming Sunday the NFL “Obama, Girlie, Pajama Boys, along with the Commissioner and owners will be openly begging the fans & American people for, forgiveness. Too late Obamabots...you screwed yourselves, idiots, morons and the buffoons you all are!!! Let’s see if Obama & Clinton star paying your salaries. I doubt it!!!
