This isn’t going the way Donald Trump and the NFL wanted to , eh?
The gestures from Stills, Wilson and Quinn [Miami Dolphins players] come just a day after the Dolphins organization submitted a nine-page disciplinary document to the NFL that included a section called “Proper Anthem Conduct,” according to the Sun-Sentinel.
The section said fines or suspensions could potentially be handed out to players who kneel during the anthem.
The Dolphins players weren’t the only ones to renew their protests as the preseason began Thursday night.
Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins, an outspoken advocate for social justice causes, raised his fist during the playing of the national anthem, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Many NFL teams played their first preseason games on Thursday after a highly controversial offseason focused on the league’s response to players who protest during the national anthem…..
Update….
As some NFL players begin their preseasons with protests during the National Anthem, President Donald Trump threatened to “suspend” them “without pay,” no matter that he neither pays nor has any control over players’ salaries….
Uh, Donald?
They do NOT work for you….
