Former NFL quarterback Fran Tarkenton rips into black players who took the knee and says conservatives in America are being denied a voice
During a wide-ranging interview with USA Today last week, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Fran Tarkenton ripped into Colin Kaepernick and the other black NFL players who refused to stand for the National Anthem. The 77-year-old former Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants quarterback made it quite clear that the protests were unforgivable. Tarkenton said:
“Do I think they should be able to demonstrate? I do. But when they play the national anthem and that flag is up there, if we cannot respect that, what do we respect in America?”
Tarkenton also complained that conservatives in America are being denied a voice. He said:
“We're silent because if you're not a Democrat, progressive liberal and you disagree with the progressive liberal's viewpoint, then you're going to be spit at, hit, ridiculed and booed. So you know what we do? We don't talk. We're a silent majority.”
The Hall of Famer also slammed Saturday Night Live for ridiculing President Trump.
Tarkenton may be 77-years old, but his brains haven’t been scrambled like so many other former NFL players his age.
