Staying in the tunnel is not good enough. All players should be required to be on the field and stand.
Let these players cower in the tunnel if they want to be a "conscientious objector"—but make them pay a fine as well...
To little too late. Life long Dolphins fan here and they are dead to me. Staying in the tunnel, kneeling or locker room is not acceptable.
When I major sport disrespects the fans, the game and now the country there will be no amnesty or forgiveness. Major league baseball went on strike in 94 and ruined that season. From my prospective from that day on a pox on the players and the owners. I haven’t watched a game since, Mr. Ross how do you think you are ever going to get me back??? In hillbilly speak, You Ain’t!!!

They can leave town for all I care. They had a chance to address it, they chose not to — instead they made it worse.
Telling people “it is OK to flip off the fans, just do it behind your back.”
There was one and only one proper response to handle this and it should have been done in week 1.
The NFL and the owners decided to not only do the right thing but double down on flipping us all off.
The NFL is dead to me.
And yes, I feel like I have been hurt by a woman I loved. I have watched the NFL religiously since 1969. My favorite sports thing in the world until now has been doing a quick analytical comment on a play and hearing the announcer say the very same thing word for word.
I am giving up a lot, but the pain of watching is greater than the pain of not doing so.
They can go to hell — NFL league, owners and players. Every last one of them.
Absolutely!! Staying in the tunnel is the “chicken” way out. Either they stand to be counted or go home. Either way, I’m done with those SOBs.
