NBC Sports reports:
Some fans have threatened to boycott the NFL over players’ protests during the national anthem. Titans tight end Delanie Walker has a message for them: Bye.
“First off, I’m going to say this: We’re not disrespecting the military, the men and woman that serve in the Army. That’s not what it’s all about,” Walker said, via Jason Wolf of The Tennessean. “. . . I’ve been in the USO. I support the troops. This is not about that. It’s about equal rights, and that’s all everyone is trying to show, is that we all care about each other.
“And the fans that don’t want to come to the game? I mean, OK. Bye. I mean, if you feel that’s something, we’re disrespecting you, don’t come to the game. You don’t have to. No one’s telling you to come to the game. It’s your freedom of choice to do that.”

Perfect example of a dumba$$. Someone who would be working at mcdonalds if he had not been pushed through school because he was good at football. This fool doesn't realize if there are no fans there will be no money to pay his overpaid stupid self.
LOLOL wait until the $$$$ stop coming in from advertisers and the cks stop being cut we the people will have the LAST WORD.
Proves their arrogance and how ignorant they are. No Fans owners go broke they don't get paid and are without a job. The tax subsidies are gone and they have no field to play on. They need to be fired.
WTH - Equal Rights???? They are not fighting for equal rights, they have those. They are being paid by the Democrats to keep any stink going that they can to get people believing Republicans are racist which is a big lie. This way the Democrats can keep them on the plantation and in their control.
TYPICAL, reminds me of that dumbass Ben Tate. He thought he was all that, made it all about him and look where he ended up. No he's a supposed born again Christian asking forgiveness for his immature arrogance
Well he does have a point, we all have the right to choose. I choose to not watch, spend money on any game, merchandise, or NFL sponsoring corp.
9:14...McDonalds ? I think not....more like corner pharmacist
I bet he is an economic major from UMES.
Where does he think his salary comes from?
I wish that ONE TIME, the entire stadium stands for the anthem and then just leaves.
Once.
That would be all it takes for the NFL leadership to tell them to stand.
EVERY TIME.
They understand money. The players may not, but the executives do.
Keep cheering.
Just goes to show the level of intelligence in the nfl. Most go bankrupt and get normal jobs because they are unable to contribute to society after throwing a ball around or being cut. It is also time to stop funding the construction of these stadiums with tax payer money. They are more constructive avenues for the amount of money used for these projects. Team owners should be responsible for these cost.
Yep.
these sons of bitches say they are trying to show support, bring light to a cause, etc etc bs, but they are in fact doing nothing other than dividing America more. And then this pompous ahole says bye? Yeah that's right bye and I won't be back even when you do stand for the flag. ef you
NFL damage control (PR) needs to step in quickly and talk to each of the 32 teams and express the immediate need for their players to SHUT UP and do what we're paying them to do. ENTERTAIN! If not, step aside for the next man up!
I hope they go broke. These entitled fools do not have a clue. They cannot speak an intelligent sentence. Most of them do not have the brains to get a job out in the real world. A bunch of overpaid ghetto trash. It's ridiculous what these jerks are paid.A law should be passed to stop tax dollars funding stadiums. Let the owners fund them. Wasted taxpayer money!
His arrogance is just fueling the fire and he just doesn't care. I hope this gets around to show everybody what he thinks of the fans.
Now that he's opened his mouth, he has removed any doubt about his stupidity. Incredibly stupid, beyond words. Not because he's black...because he's STUPID. I'm surprised he can walk, much less play football. If he represents the NFL...BYE!
I went to Burger King today to get a small Whopper and a large Coke. The Coke came in a Ravens cup. I am not going to Burger King anymore.
Has anyone noticed that Comcast has saturated the air(cable)waves with the NFL adds using a so called super fan?They are really pushing NFL game ads on all channels.
It is not arrogance.
Only intelligent people can be arrogant.
He is just stupid.
In the league since 2006, a 6th round pick by the 49ers. Played there thru 2012 season and their Super Bowl. Then to Tennessee. So he was on same team as Colon the Kneelist for several years.
His Wikipedia page shows time at a CA Jr. College to bump his grades instead of enrolling at UTEP, and then to Central Missouri. No information about major or degree.
He set up a charitable foundation in 2014 to help kids. It claims to have raised 80,000 (80K) with an event at bowling alley/sports bar. That's all. Pause for applause? His generosity leaves me speechless; that's sarcasm for those at home.
So he can afford to treat the fans with derision; he's vested in the NFL pension and is in the fat money years of his career at age 33. But with his attitude, he's a loser!
The fans don't show owners lose money then maybe the cost of attending a game when they start respecting the Flag and obey NFL rules might go down. That will be the only way the fans will return.
5:57 So so true!
Maybe it's all the concussions.
