Fla. Police Union cancel Dolphins Tickets deal over Anthem Kneeling

NFL refuses to punish players, cites discussions with NFL Players Association

Police unions in Florida are cancelling their discount-ticket deals with the Miami Dolphins after two players knelt for the national anthem at the first NFL preseason game.

“We sent the team an email saying, thanks but no thanks,” said Rod Skirvin, vice president of the Broward County Police Benevolent Association.

Mr. Skirvin said the Dolphins organization had contacted police unions offering specially priced tickets and VIP treatment for the Nov. 4 game honoring first responders, which he characterized as an “olive branch” to officers unhappy with last year’s kneeling.

Anyone who supports the NFL supports thugs.

My respect to the Florida Police Unions I wish across the country this would be done especially by the sponsors of the game, the media, and coverage of the games until they learn this is not the venue to do this kneeling thing. God and Country come first. Loose those big million dollar contracts until they realize this country, our people mean business. Enough all ready.
