Broncos Release Last Two Perpetual Kneelers: “They’re Like Spoiled Children”
When John Elway took control of the Denver Broncos, he made some demands. One was that he had full control over football operations. When the issue of kneeling came along, he made it clear: not on my field. Two of his players, however, continue to buck the system by kneeling during away games.
The first time it happened, Elway stormed the field personally and fired them on the spot. After a tussle with the Player’s Association, however, the two were reinstated. “He can’t tell us what to do in San Fransisco or New York,” said wide receiver DeJ’ose Barron, “he has no control when it’s not his field.”
