“I was kind of pissed at how people reacted to it,” said Foster. “In a sense, that we didn’t ask for that. We were thrown into this by some comments outside of the business and the sport of football. To see the backlash that I’m getting from back home, from people in my hometown on something I had no idea was going to go over like this

It's not our fault

Aaaah, yes, once again that lack of taking responsibility for one's actions. Overpaid, overindulged cry babies!

The players, most of whom were not protesting before the Donald spoke, didn't care about the protest.

You can blame donald for that.

Or we can blame full blown adults making conscious decisions. That'd make more sense.

Says the guy who's team doesn't even come out for the anthem and leaves one teammate on an island all alone. Nice.

Because telling the kneelers to leave that shite outside of the stadium isn't what needs to be said.

Sounds to me like he needs to take a little bit of his own advice.

They have the right to protest the flag and anthem

We the people have the right to tell them to frick themselves and not show up for their protesting oppressed assses

In other words-- "This isn't just The Ice Bucket Challenge for narcissistic athletes? You mean I can't shite on the whole concept of national unity without people reacting? Wait-yhey get to have opinions, too? Well shite, that's not fair. I'm still getting paid, ain't I?".

Hey Foster, I could care less what you are tired of. I am tired of players like you letting your fellow NFL employees splatter the game with their political blather. I was a Steelers fan long before you were born. Hiding in the tunnel like cowards instead of stepping up to put an end to players disrespecting this country ended my time as a Steelers fan. Your fellow players live in gated communities and their kids go to private schools. That privilege was paid for by fans like me. It does not matter what message any player what to make…if they do it by disrespecting those who served with me to defend this country you will all pay the price for not standing up like men and stopping it.

Im just waiting for an adult to stand up and say "if you want to destroy your brand, destroy fan loyalty, and destroy your league over a false narrative, go ahead. Everyone, except idiot leftists, respects the 1st amendment. Exercising those rights doesnt make your stance any less dumb"
