Evidently there's been 'progress' made........
This is the moment we all knew would come. 'Progress' has been made........or he's just getting tired of the lack of endorsements.
Brandon Marshall cites 'progress' in police talks in revealing why he'll no longer kneel during anthem |

That's a really nice statement by Marshall.
He seems to be willing to put his money where his mouth is and to speak up when it may not be the most popular thing to do. I think we can all take something from the optimism of his words here. Last edited by digamma : 11-07-2016 at 12:29 PM. Reason: Different Brandon Marshall |

I have zero idea what many of the other athletes who have knelt for the national anthem have done off the field. The only reason I know Brandon is because I'm a Broncos fan and I follow the goings on with the team. Two quick things: 1 - I disagreed with his kneeling. Still do. He has a right to do it, I have a right to disagree with it. We all get our say. 2 - As I know what he's done, let me recite some of it. He met with the Denver Chief of Police. He met with many other city of Denver police officers. He knew he would lose endorsements and yet he stepped up his charitable donations right from the start. He works with a lot of organizations which believe in his cause, no just the one he posted about when he ended his stance. He never complained about the loss of his endorsements. He knew it was part of what would happen with his stance and he accepted it. I'm not saying we should all cheer for Brandon Marshall. I am saying this isn't a guy who ended this so he could regain popularity or get more endorsement deals. Last edited by TroyF : 11-07-2016 at 11:40 AM. |

Ah, thank you. Didn't make that connection at all. Opinion still holds. Last edited by digamma : 11-07-2016 at 12:28 PM. |
