Titans’ Rishard Matthews: I’ll Leave Football If They Make Me Stand For Anthem

Careful what you wish for, you just might get it. Liberals are infamous for threatening to leave the country if the wrong person is elected as president. They almost never do, sadly. Now, that threat has moved to the NFL. Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews is threatening to quit the NFL if he is forced to stand for the National Anthem. Oh, please do! Just do it! Then don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. He made the threat yesterday when asked by Matt Parker, a local Nashville producer, on Twitter whether he would stay in the locker room, or take the fine or penalty for kneeling during the anthem. Matthews’ profile picture on Twitter features his half-brother, Christopher Ruiz, who died in Afghanistan in 2015.

Matthews said this in answer to the question… it was captured by Clay Travis of Outkick the Coverage, before Matthews deleted it: “No I will be done playing football.” Let’s see if he’s man enough, or radical racist enough, to stand by that statement. I double-dog dare him to quit. He’s vowing to throw a tantrum and quit if he doesn’t get his way. How mature. Should he keep his word, it will cost him millions. He would be walking away from football permanently like Colin Kaepernick. If he’s that repulsed by America, he needs to go and stay gone. He’s paid over $6.3 million and hates his country. Go figure.

I knew for some reason when they stopped playing the anthem BEFORE the players entered the field there would be problems.Nobody really paid attention to the audience & if they stood or not.Why do people change things when they are perfect as is?Does anyone know what year they began playing the anthem AFTER the players came onto the field?

I this my friends just solidifies what everyone is disgusted about. What moron in their right mind would give up millions of dollars and security because of a two minute pregame ritual that pays respect to all those that paid with their lives to ensure freedom

Who cares if you don't put your patriotism above your own slanted agenda then don't let the door hit you on the way out--over paid! They can take a stand on issues any time any platform it doesn't have to involve the anthem and the flag.

Matthews is like those Hollywood liberals who said they would leave the US if Trump was elected. Well, they're still here and Matthews will still be playing football.

This is one very stupid NFL dude!

It is a song.
It is a piece of cloth.

Our Satanically possessed evil rotten GOVERNMENT is NOT symbolized by that filthy flag.
It is symbolized by its own symbols: 666, Freemasonic Logos, and Obelisks (phallic symbols).
