NFL Hall of Famer Franco Harris says national anthem protests would not have been tolerated by players in his day. In fact, he said that overpaid jackasses like Colin Kaepernick would have got their ass beat for pulling attention-seeking stunts like kneeling during the anthem.
In an interview with Mediate, Harris was asked about NFL players refusing to stand for the national anthem, a demonstration that was started by Colin Kaepernick who says he was protesting police brutality and racial inequality.

During the 2017 NFL preseason, other players like the Seattle Seahawks’ Michael Bennett and the Oakland Raiders’ Marshawn Lynch staged similar protests of their own.
Harris said that even though America has social issues that need to be dealt with, it’s important to respect the country by standing before the flag.
According to Harris, Kaepernick and other players should find a different platform for their protests.
“If someone has a certain stance that they want to take, that’s fine,” Harris said.
“When he puts on that suit, when he steps out on that field, now it’s more than just him. It’s his teammates, it’s the NFL, and it’s the fans.”
Harris went on to say that the team must come first, and coaches and teammates in his day would not have tolerated Kaepernick’s antics.
As the discussion continued, Mediaite columnist John Ziegler asked Harris how his coaches and teammates would have confronted Kaepernick over his conduct.
“We had two of the meanest guys in football, who I think would’ve dealt with it that way, and that would’ve been Joe Greene and Jack Lambert,” Harris said.
George Foreman also weighed into the debate recently and slammed Colin Kaepernick and Kevin Durant. On a podcast Monday, Foreman said neither the football nor basketball star are patriots.
Yes folks, the world’s most famous “grill maker” just grilled two of today’s most anti-American/anti-Law Enforcement athletes.

I think if the truth was told, a majority of the current players would express the same feelings, but our current PC climate makes that awkward. The ones that sit can go ply their trade in Canada.
It’s about the constitution just ask Senator Mitt Romney and Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman. The constitution is being trampled on way too much in the past three years, It may be your right a critical of someone, but to be critical of them for upholding and exercising their constitutional rights is truly unpatriotic.
Keep running that trap of yours moron…you’re a buffoon!
If you say so….white nationalist racist misogynist
