'A Slap in the Face': FL Police Unions Urge Miami Dolphins Boycott After Anthem Protests
Two police unions in Florida are taking a stand against the Miami Dolphins over national anthem protests.

NFL players continued to protest during "The Star-Spangled Banner" on Thursday night as the league began the first full week of its 2018 preseason.

Two Dolphins players decided to kneel before their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, despite the controversy surrounding the action.

Broward County PBA Vice President Rod Skirvin told the Miami Herald that the action was a "slap in the face."
The PBA posted on its Facebook page that it is encouraging its members to call the team's ticket office and request a refund.

The post stated that its members were also offered game ticket discounts because the team had previously said players who protest could be suspended up to four games.

The players should be fired and cancel there contracts, overpaid clowns.

This kneeling thing is retarded in my opinion, and being given waaay too much coverage, and import. That being said... What the hell do police have to do with the anthem? Their loyalty lies only with the municipality that they serve in, under the direction of the mayor of that municipality. The only exception being the State Police. They serve under the governor of the state. A lot of these Barney fifes actually think they are some sort of first line in national defense. They aren’t. While they sometimes do good deeds, and should be applauded when they do; the bulk of their duties are that of revenue generation for their municipality. Tax collectors with guns...

It's their right to kneel, it's also the right of the police to not support them, nor anyone else who is offended.

I believe in time, it will be the owners right to cut players and decrease salaries in correlation with decreased revenue and popularity. I believe these players are pawns, tools and poorly informed, who are going about it the wrong way. That's just my two cents.

It was getting old last season...now it's just stupid. Has their idiotic protesting changed a thing? Nope and it won't

It's their right to kneel,

While at work?

Appear so, they still have jobs.

I think it's absurd, but their owners have been supporting them for the most part. If their bosses want to punish them, they need to do so through the union. If this is allowed, than ALL employees everywhere will be fighting every firing if they engage in unwelcome acts at work.

'A Slap in the Face'

Hyperbolic nonsense.

It’s ridiculous to infer that peaceful, lawful, and warranted protest is meant as an ‘insult’ to anyone.

This is about the players protesting against police violence and brutality, not the anthem.

Those fools are making more than most people on this forum will see in 100 lifetimes.

Maybe if they had to work as hard as most people just to scrape by they'd appreciate the awesome gifts this country has afforded them.

Ingrates. Think how utterly selfish and stupid they look to most people in the world.

Still...not a single LefTard with the balls to refute or acknowledge my point. Let’s try again.
“What’s your thoughts on good, positive contributing, law abiding folks staging an annual protest against criminality and welfare dependency on Martin Luther King Day each and every year?”

Football players, Beyonce....

Liberals hate police...until their asses want protection...

Then protest at the police station ,not on the field.
