You won’t have to worry about the Miami Dolphins taking a knee on the field during the national anthem. Dolphins players announced, via a two-minute video, that the team will be ramping up the woke by staying inside their locker room when the NFL goes through its national anthem — the Star-Spangled Banner and the black national anthem — pageantry before games this season.
“If you speak up for change, I’ll shut up and play,” one Dolphins player says during the video. “It’s not enough to act like you care for the troops,” says another. “Enough. No more fluff and empty gestures,” a player said in response to how the NFL has handled the anthem process.
The Dolphins open the 2020 season Sunday in New England against the Patriots at 1 on CBS. Fans will not be allowed to attend the game.

We express our discontentment with what we call “puff and Marxist gestures” by the @NFL Players…
The @Fans will stay away for both the Miami Dolphins and NFL this year.
Many will. And many will mindlessly cheer. “Football is back….YEAH…football!!”
I believe some would stay on their couch and cheer on the football game if their house was on fire.

That’s EXACTLY what the President is doing!!! He’s taking actions…not gum flapping like so many others…including Obama and Biden, the Laurel and Hardy of American politics!!!
Expressing my discontent, too…fukk off, schmuck!!!
Still waiting for these clowns to start speaking out against the ongoing black on black murders that happen every week for many years now in Chitown. A city with a black mayor and black police chief yet none of these dudes ever mention that’s just how phony they are and the black children continue to suffer and with no father in70% of the homes. That’s the real tragedy.
Says the player who literally only has a career opportunity like this in one country on the planet.
Was I the only one that read an article about this on another site first and thought: “holy shit, the Dolphins are tired of the phony gestures” by the PLAYERS..? I didn’t see the video just read a story. I was an instant Dolphin fan. Then it was, oh…….damnit
Exactly, BC…I thought the same thing!!!
I actually don’t mind this. Not a bad compromise if they stay in for both anthems. Kind of depoliticizes the situation. Now essentially like college football if they come out after the anthem.
Longtime Dolphin fan. I didn’t realize until just now if I had “just spoke up for change” Miami wouldn’t have sucked for the last 20 plus years. Clue a brother in (I’m white and that was racist). Until you mention the devastation that takes place in a lot of cities of black on black violence and lack of Fathers at the dinner table I will not watch. Mentioned before if my son wants it on have at it – a six grader shouldn’t suffer from “adult” fools. I on the other hand has plenty to work on and watch during Sundays.
Have plenty to work on and watch. Want to proper peeps.
Nothing like a threat from a Miami Dolphin not to play unless I speak up for a movement that I dont believe in. I cannot name 2 Miami Dolphin players. And if Tannehill isnt on the team anymore, I can’t name one player.
Oh, I’m sorry. Mark Duper. Is he still on the Dolphins?
For decades, Democrats and the teacher’s unions have dumbed down public education for votes. What are the NFL players doing or saying about that? They are watching Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Kamala Harris send their kids and grandkids to private school as most politicians (and many athletes) do for a better education. Way too many professional athletes are coming off as childless, immature, and ignorant hypocrites lacking the depth and understanding to address real-world issues.
Hey Dolphins. You know how you’re not showing up for the anthem because you don’t like how things are going right now? Yeah, half the fans thought that was a clever protest idea, so we’re all doing the same for your games. Thanks!
Joe, you’re a legend. Bingo fucking bango. Your articles remind me of classic barstool. That satire/blog style is rare in 2020 and with all the censorship nearly impossible to find idk how Clay did. Props to him. It’s refreshing. I might stick around another year here on planet earth. I was a die hard Dolphins fan. Glad I burnt my shit this summer back in June. One less thing. But yeah. Saw this coming.
Perfect.
Now with a full stadiun of fans that can Booooo the F_ck out of you athlete idiots …
Tua should quit and go back to College …
