Fans threaten boycott after Dolphins discuss anthem protest
Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016
A possible protest by the Dolphins
and Seahawks during the national anthem at Sunday's season opener has
angered some fans, who lashed out in comments posted on The Post's initial news report on Friday's team meeting.
"My family and friends won't be going to games this year, and some won't buy products advertised during games," one commenter posted. Another threatened a similar boycott: "I'm protesting the disrespect for our country and boycotting the NFL until they make everyone stand. I'll watch college football and baseball and hockey, period."
Others took offense to the potential protest occuring on 9/11. "Protest the anthem especially on 9/11 and the Dolphins are dead to me," one reader wrote. Another posted: "Truly disgusting what they are doing. ... I'm sure our soldiers abroad will be horrified and disgusted at their unpatriotic behavior."
Even longtime fans were offended: "If the Dolphins decide not to stand for the national anthem on 9/11 I will never attend another game in my life. And I've run bus trips for for 29 years."
