*Miami Dolphins players released a powerful two-minute, 17-second video on Thursday night letting everyone know that they will not take the field for the playing of two anthems before Sunday’s season opener.
Multiple teammates explained in rhyme why they wanted to make a stand without following along with the plan the league had set forth, which included the playing of America’s national anthem as well as the Black national anthem, “Lift Ev’ry Voice And Sing.”
“We don’t need another publicity parade,” cornerback Bobby McCain said.
“So we’ll just stay inside,” center Ted Karras said.
Cornerback Byron Jones wonders: “Whatever happened to the funds that were promised?”
Receiver Preston Williams adds: “You can’t open your heart when it’s controlled by your wallet.”
