Terricka Cromartie: Colts released husband over anthem protest
Quote:INDIANAPOLIS -- The wife of former Colts cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who was released Oct. 4, is accusing the team of letting her husband go for taking a knee during the national anthem.

Terricka Cromartie wrote an Instagram post after seeing comments from Colts owner Jim Irsay saying football stadiums are the "wrong venue" for players to be kneeling during the national anthem to show their displeasure in police brutality and racial oppression. The post was later taken down, but it stated what she thinks the attitude of the team toward players:

"You are Nothing More than an Entertainer. Just Shut and do what we say. You have No rights as along as you are working for me.. there are other places for you to fight and stand for what you believe," the post said.

Whatever. Their loss. Falcons pick him up. Irsay is a drunk.

Yup, that's about right in a private business environment.

It happens with the military too. In '68 there was a Brown Power rally in the town outside the base where I served. The base commander, a Hispanic too, ordered us not to show up to it. Since, I wasn't political in those days it wasn't hard for me to not attend. None of my Hispanic friend showed up either.

The way I see it you do not infringed on the uniform that you wear even if it's a football uni.

As I read what she said, I was thinking the same. Who's paying you, dude?

Welcome to how the real world works Antonio.

Maybe he should focus more on not knocking up 8 randos and fathering 12 children. Get it together Antonio.
