FINALLY: NFL PLAYER BOOTED FOR DISRESPECTFUL NATIONAL ANTHEM PROTEST…
Offensive national anthem protests have become trendy
for overpaid athletes, and as a result people are tuning out the NFL.
Meanwhile, team owners are starting to realize their brands are being severely
damaged by these protesting, ungrateful players.
And one team owner has finally taken action.
Antonio Cromartie of the Indianapolis Colts has
reportedly been cut from the team for kneeling during the national anthem and
raising his fist.
Many feel that the NFL has done little to combat this
disrespect to the flag and military, but certain owners have reportedly told
players they will not sit during the anthem. This hasn’t previously cost anyone
their job, until now.
Of course, the Colts’ owner is going to take a lot of
heat for his decision. But he’s not the only team owner to be outspoken about
players using his field to protest.
As we reported yesterday, Jerry Jones–the owner of
the Dallas Cowboys–spoke out firmly against players protesting on the field. “I
just feel so strongly that the act of recognizing the flag is a salute to our
country and all of the people that have sacrificed so that we can have the
liberties we have,” Jones said.
Jones has threatened to fire any player that does
anything but stand for the National Anthem
Meanwhile, President Trump has echoed that statement
and urged Americans to boycott any NFL team that tolerates such blatant
disrespect of the United States flag.

God bless Jones and the other team owners who have
taken a stand on this! It may not be the “popular” thing to do with the media
elite, but Middle America certainly appreciates that someone is finally
standing up for our vets!
