Would you boycott the NFL over players protesting the National Anthem?

Update: Houston Texans Owner on Protesting Players: ‘We Can’t Have the Inmates Running the Prison’

It's stupid comments like these that make me a little sympathetic towards the protesters.

Wasn't smart at all but I fully understand the statement even if worded poorly in today's politically sensitive world.

 

[jjtweeks]

wasn't smart but true, could have used a better analogy

i would tell Hopkins like my 4 year old tells my 7 year old.. "quit crying little baby"

Sorry,

If my boss referred to me as a "detainee" and insinuated that my job was a prison, I'd show him REAL FAST just how easily I could break out of his little prison.

 

[mudloggerone]

I'd be willing to bet you've had multiple bosses call you a lot worse than that.

 

[jjtweeks]

why would you get offended about a figure of speech. I for one don't like to give people power over me or dictate how i feel. I was an inmate and you damn sure don't won't them running a prison so the figure of speech, though offensive to some, was spot on. If you keep letting players(inmates) push the boundaries of stupid stuff like they have been doing there will be no NFL(prison).
And I wish Hopkins or any other player had the balls to leave the NFL, but it will never and I mean never happen. Their not stupid, what else could most do to make even a sliver of what they are making now.

My parents use to say to their kids and each other that u can’t let the kids run the show. Same metaphor.

Yeh, and like we mentioned before, Papa John CEO thinks it all starts at the top, and poor leadership led to never ending nightmare.

And now Twitter is ganging up on Papa John's.

Responses have ranged anywhere from:

"It's not kneeling players that hurts your business. Lil Caesars Hot N Ready is crushing you"

To

"Welcome to the boycott. I'll never eat your pizza again"

Here's a great man that says F'em to the NFL.

Vin Scully: 'I will never watch another NFL game'

You left out the part that after that he yelled at them to stay off his lawn.

Their pizza is pretty crappy. Not the worst, but definitely not good. My ex-wife used to buy it because my kids liked it (before they were old enough to know better). Bad decision making on pizza part of the reason she is my ex-wife...............

 

[mudloggerone]

Very crappy IMO.
