If the NFL forces players to stand for the anthem.

I say...... I dare you to do something so stupid. Your next stop will be bagging groceries.

And this comes from a guy who really could care less if they even do the anthem at all. I'm there for the entertainment not the politics. But if the NFL decides that players will stand.... then you do it.

Here's Matthew's salary information -- this website is pretty interesting.

https://overthecap.com/player/rishard-matthews/716/

Add up Matthew's salary and bonus money and if he retires today he will lose roughly $10,000,000.

Seems like a steep price to pay, to not stand for the anthem.
