Broncos LB Brandon Marshall loses endorsement after kneeling for anthem
Posted by Josh Alper on September 9, 2016, 4:20 PM EDT
Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall became the latest NFL player to exercise his right to kneel during the playing of the national anthem before Thursday night’s game against the Panthers.
On Friday, a company that employed Marshall as an endorser exercised its own rights to cancel their working relationship. The Air Academy Federal Credit Union was chartered in 1955 to, per their website, “serve the cadets, officers and civilians” of the Air Force Academy. President/CEO Glenn Strebe cited that relationship in a Facebook post announcing their decision to sever ties with Marshall.

He had to know that specific credit union would do this. Or I hoped he would.

We get to see how strongly these guys believe in their cause, once it starts costing them.

He probably didn't think it through, I await to see his supporters go full retard and say this is hurting his first amendment rights.

Good for them. Hope other companies follow suit. You want to be a blind sheep kneeling for reasons you don't even understand, have fun losing money.

You have a right to free speech
And companies have a right to fire you for it

He says he is. Big difference compared to actually writing the check.

Amen.
Was your 5 minutes of attention worth it Mr Marshall?

i know it won't happen, but if tv would stop showing the players kneeling it would stop
their just looking for attention like BLM that's it, don't care about the cause
