Miami Dolphins Players Continue to Kneel During National Anthem
- 5 years ago
The Dolphins will open up with their first home game of the season next week against the Cleveland Browns. The question is will the Broward Sheriff’s Office be escorting them to the game?
The controversial protest by Miami Dolphins players to not stand during the national anthem took another turn Friday as Broward County’s deputies take a stand of their own against the hometown team.
“We’ve asked the deputies and the Broward Sheriff’s Office not to do the details anymore,” said Jeffery Bell, the president of the International Union of Police Associations, Local 6020.
Update: BSO says deputies will still work Dolphins games despite union request
The union is asking for team-sponsored police escorts to stop until the team forces players to stand for the anthem.
“I respect their right to have freedom of speech. However, in certain organizations and certain jobs you give up that right of your freedom of speech temporary while you serve that job or while you play in an NFL game,” Bell said.
The demands come as Dolphin players have come under fire, literally. A group of fans burned team gear on Thursday.
