    This is the truth about the @NFL. Several current players in the league have told me this very thing.https://twitter.com/MrTracyJ/status/872438172738781184 …

    The @NFL is using Colin as the example to keep 90% of it's labor base quiet. Just play, be grateful, and shut up about what and how we do it

        Maybe all NFL players should go on a social civil rights strike by refusing to play until sh*t changes? Most lack the balls to do this.

        I agree. Also, maybe us fans who care about shit should vocally boycott. Most lack the discipline or dedication

        @MrTracyJ there's other ways he could have chosen to make a point. Disrespecting flag was not one of them. That's the uproar

        He disrespected the flag? He quietly protested which is covered by the First Amendment, questioning that right is disrespectful to the flag

        People might want to consider the possibility that he's not on a team because he's a terrible QB. That could factor in somewhere.

        No Manziel is worse. But he's been statistically one of the worst QBs in the league the last few years & wants a big contract. Nope
