TN Titans’ Delanie Walker Tells Fans to Stay Home
2017-09-30
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Apparently Tennessee Titans tight end, Delanie Walker, doesn’t know where his bread is buttered. He straight up told his fans to stay home if they don’t like the players protesting the National Anthem.
Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
Delanie Walker told the Tennessean:

“First off, I’m going to say this: We’re not disrespecting the military, the men and women that serve in the Army. That’s not what it’s all about,” Titans tight end Delanie Walker said. “If you look at most of the guys in here – I’ve been in the USO. I support the troops. This is not about that. It’s about equal rights, and that’s all everyone is trying to show, is that we all care about each other.

“And the fans that don’t want to come to the game? I mean, OK. Bye.
See ya!
I mean, if you feel that’s something, we’re disrespecting you, don’t come to the game.
They won't.
You don’t have to.
They don't have to pay money to watch you, Delanie.
No one’s telling you to come to the game.
...except for some cheap advertising...
It’s your freedom of choice to do that.”
Nobody needs to buy Delanie's cheap-ass bobblehead, or his jersey. There aren't any replica Superbowl rings I can recall...

#11  My thought was "don't let the screen door hit you on the butt on the way out."

When the Houston Oilers left to become the Tennesee Tuxedos, that was pretty much the collective mood of the city. The only problem then was who to root for. No way were we going for the hated Dallas Cowboys, so we became Saints fans.

#10  No Raj, I'm not bitter. I'm tremendously amused. When they announced they were moving, I called and offered to help. My thought was "don't let the screen door hit you on the butt on the way out."

#8  Bear in mind that this is the organization that used to be the Houston Oilers, before Bud Adams was offered a better deal in Tennessee.
I'm gonna giggle about this all day.

#7  You picked the wrong state to make that stand. Tennessee is in many ways like Texas. And UT football holds far more attention in the state than any NFL Team. I'm sure they'll be only too happy to completely abandon the NFL.

What's the message on the Che Guevara t-shirt, then?

Maybe it's $13.3 million for 2 years...

#4  Ex 9er Kaepernick, ex-9er Walker, current 9er Reid - is it something in the water?

#3  Why should he understand where his 'magic' check comes from any more than those who contemplate where the funding for their 'magic' EBT cards comes from.

#2  Let's see what's left for the players after expenses for network broadcast, stadium, concessions, merchandise, coaches, trainers, travel, agents, etc. when attendance and TV audience are cut in half. 2018 is going to be much fun.
