There are still many NFL players protesting social injustice during the national anthem, but some men aren’t able to join them against their will.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin, who has been outspoken about police brutality, appears on this week’s edition of Any Given Wednesday with Bill Simmons (HBO, 10:30 p.m. ET) and claimed that some NFL owners “have taken a stand and told players to do certain things, which I think is egregious.”

“There’s been owners that have told their players to do specific things or to not do specific things … regarding the National Anthem and the protests,” Baldwin said. “The one quote that I was informed of was, ‘You’re going to stand on the line with your hand on your heart and you’re going to sing the National Anthem because this is my stage.’”

Talk to your union reps.

 

[unknownsoldier]

Jerry was pretty vocal about it. That's a direct quote from his radio show.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Well it IS massas plantation.

 

[BDR]

[JazzyBenz]

Damn...shouldn't really be surprised

 

[gene cisco]

Which owners? They need to drop some names.

How would this work if someone had an issue with idolatry of the flag?

 

[g0nbad real bad]

How would this work if someone had an issue with idolatry of the flag?

They would have to denounce association with blm.

 

[therealjondoe]

Can't play in the nfl

 

[Soul On Ice]

Immediately come to mind

 

[DjMorpheus]

Gotta add Panthers, Rams and Saints

 

[J.A.]

Benson ain't on that. He prolly can't remember what he had for breakfast. Sean Payton is a dick though

 

[playahaitian]

You know that pill popper Irsay on that list.

 

[Sango]

This is the perfect stage for the NFLPA to step in and right the issues. WTF some of these NFL players lack the courage and heart to... Keep that on repeat.

 

[praetor]

All of em.

Yep, I want names. Just like when "some people" were telling Donald Sterling that they didn't like his mistress hanging out with black guys. I want to know who the fuck they were.

Exactly. Donald Sterling was outted and we know he isnt the only one in the NBA just like we know they are in the NFL.

We need to lay all the cards on the table and see where they stand so people can make their own decisions.

 

[luukim]

Legally, what can the players do? If the owner of the team makes this a regulation, I see want recourse the players will have.

 

[ballscout1]

Fuck the owners if it is something you believe in.

They can cut you or trade you but they also have to pay any portion of your contract is guaranteed .

Damn shame if you have gotten to the point of playing pro sports and they can scare you into complying with what you don't agree with.

But that happens when you don't complete your fall back (education) and spend frivolously.

Damn shame to put your self in a paycheck to paycheck situation when your checks is hundreds of thosuands

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Not only owners but coaches too

 

[cmac105]

How in the flying fuck can they make it regulation to stand for the national anthem. Said player can just state it's against their religion and they can't do shit.

[durham]

he still has the right to risk punishment for what is correct. Put a name on it, and stop locking arms like little kids in the playground.

Either America has free speech, or we are all slaves to our employment to SERVE the major economic powers.
