| 2017-10-13 |
 [DAILYCALLER] Tennessee Titans player Rishard Matthews tweeted Thursday that he’ll quit the NFL if the league implements a rule forcing players to stand during the anthem.“No I will be done playing football,” Matthews tweeted and ultimately deleted when asked if he would be willing to face punishment for not standing if a new rule is implemented. |

| #14 Looked up what college degree he has to fall back on. Yeah, I'm smiling too. Apparently he only learned how to catch passes from caperneck for a couple years. But, what is up with his twit avatard? Is that a Marine uniform? |

| #10 Methinks Rishard's value meter is a little out of synch with a whole lot of (former) NFL watchers. |

| #7 OK, fine. Now would you prefer an application to work at Starbucks or at McDonald's? (Spoiler alert: Your salary may not be what you have been accustomed to.) |

| #2 Y'all are smirking & snorting, but I feel for the brother. First job I had working for The Man, they made me wear ugly clothes, told me what to do and even wanted me to show up on time. It was living hell. I don't know what I would have done if they asked me to stand for the Star Spangled Banner. Actually, I'd probably have done it. It's no worse than anything else they wanted and beats the heck out of making french fries or running wind sprints. |

| #1 Hey, snowflake. You are an EMPLOYEE. You are expected to do what your employer tells you to do - while you are at work. You are free to quit - and that is exactly what you should do, if you are unwilling to meet your employer's expectations. No one is irreplaceable. You and Kaepernick can maybe get jobs together washing cars, or bagging groceries. |
