The NFL has jumped the shark.
Via NY Post:
One more NFL player has joined Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protest, but not with the 49ers quarterback’s original purpose.
“I don’t want to, you know, disrespect the veterans or anything,” Tampa Bay wide receiver Mike Evans said, via JoeBucsFan.com, after his Bucs beat the Bears, 36-10 on Sunday. “The men and women who serve this country, I’m forever indebted to them. But the things that’s been going on in America lately, I’m not going to stand for that. When Ashton Kutcher comes out and says we’ve been punked, then I’ll stand again. But I won’t stand anymore.”
He won’t stand anymore for a country that elected controversial Republican Donald Trump as its next president.
“If this happens, then America’s not right right now,” Evans, the seventh overall pick in the 2014 draft, said about Trump actually becoming the president. “I said this a long time ago. When [Trump] ran, I thought it was a joke, and the joke continues.
“I’m not a political person that much, but I got common sense. And I know when something’s not right.”
