NFL Player Given HUGE Gift From US Military Turns Around And Gives Them Finger In Front
of Millions.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Rishard Matthews shared on Twitter that he be "done playing
football" in the NFL if he had to stop protesting the American Flag during the National Anthem.
Matt Parker of WSMV Tweeted it out and people grabbed a screen capture of the Tweet before
Matthews deleted it.
This comes from a player whose brother, Christopher Ruiz, gave up his life serving in the military.
Matthews was given a huge gift from the military after his brother perished.
Matthews was presented with an American Flag that was flown in Afghanistan where his brother
lost his life serving in the military.
It was an emotional moment that brought Matthews back to reality and hopefully made him realize
what people give up to make this country better.
His father also served in the military for many years, but it seems like the two men
who should be closest in his life didn't have a good influence on Rishard.
Matthews throws up a hypothetical middle finger to the entire country and wants to protest
during the playing of the National Anthem before NFL football games.
Could it get any more disrespectful to his brother and our country?
Matthews eventually deleted the Tweet, most likely after he realized how insane it would
be to quit his easy million dollar job and come back to the real world where he'd likely
be flipping burgers and asking if people want fries with that.
This is the Rishard Matthews people love.
This is the Rishard Matthews giving a middle finger to America.
Wide receiver Rishard Matthews said he would be done playing football when asked on Twitter
if he would accept a fine or penalty if the NFL instituted a new rule for the national
anthem, then later deleted the tweet.The starting receiver has stayed in the locker room during
the national anthem through the last two games in protest of President Donald Trump's comments
on NFL players.
Matthews was not available Thursday after practice before the locker room closed to
reporters.
Titans coach Mike Mularkey said he could not comment because he learned of Matthews'
tweet after practice and had not talked to the player yet.
Even though Rishard Matthews deleted the Tweet, it still has people wondering what's going
on in his head.
Football fans don't want politics in their sports.
Professional sports, especially football, is a form of entertainment.
It's one big fancy show that football fans pay tons of money to see, getting ripped off
at every stadium in the country for tons of cash, and fans are tired of seeing the nonsense.
Fans want to see the show they're paying for.
Fans don't want the politics in their game.
Will Rishard Matthews continue protesting or will he finally stop when he remembers
what his father and brother did for America?
Matthews was chatting again on Twitter and essentially backtracked on his comment.
He knows it was ridiculous because what guy will leave his million dollar job over a protest?
We sure don't see many people following Colin Kaepernick into the free agent market.
It looks like his trend didn't catch on very well.
Justin Beasley from WSMV caught up with Matthews on Twitter and here's what Rishard had to
say regarding his Tweet about quitting the NFL.
That means that Rishard Matthews really isn't going to quit the NFL if he's not allowed
to protest anymore.
People talk a big game then when it's time to lose millions they go back on it.
I say he should quit and live life as a normal everyday person for a year and see what it's
like.
He should live paycheck to paycheck while sipping on cheap beer and living on Ramen
Noodles and hot dogs.
He should see what it's like to have a bank account with only three numbers in it.
He should save up three paychecks just to buy one NFL game ticket, parking, and food
at a football stadium.
Whatever Rishard Matthews is thinking, he better get his mind right.
This protest is nonsense and stands for absolutely nothing.
Literally no one cares about whatever message it is they're trying to send.
Protesters are an annoying breed of people who continuously accomplish nothing.
If Rishard Matthews wants to make a difference, then he should become a police officer or
do something for his community that helps get people out of poverty.
I see a lot of NFL athletes talking big games but don't see them putting their money where
their mouth is.
Instead we keep putting our money out and they're taking it and giving us the finger.
Can you imagine what would happen to most NFL players if all fans boycotted the league?
Those millionaires would be broke and working right next to us every day hard working blue
collar folks and they wouldn't know what to do.
Now get back to football and stop crying about social justice.
And if you see this, Rishard – remember this bro – you only have 20 catches for
284 yards and one touchdown.
If you quit, no one would care.
Remember how lucky you are to be the one in a million pro athlete and think about your
brother and father whenever you see the American flag.
