CAVUTO Jason what do ░░░░░░░░ think of that WHITLOCK ░░░░░░░░ I think it is ░░░░░░░░ past time for NFL ░░░░░░░░ to try to take ░░░░░░░░ of the situation Look ░░░░░░░░ NBA has had a ░░░░░░░░ in place prohibiting the ░░░░░░░░ from doing anything during ░░░░░░░░ national anthem other than ░░░░░░░░ and supporting the flag ░░░░░░░░ supporting that moment The ░░░░░░░░ needed to do this ░░░░░░░░ long time ago You ░░░░░░░░ all these NFL players ░░░░░░░░ loved to talk about ░░░░░░░░ platform I want to ░░░░░░░░ my platform my platform ░░░░░░░░ do XYZ The NFL ░░░░░░░░ not their platform There ░░░░░░░░ 30 some odd NFL ░░░░░░░░ They stand on the ░░░░░░░░ of a bunch of ░░░░░░░░ players that made sacrifices ░░░░░░░░ these guys to make ░░░░░░░░ this money Their careers ░░░░░░░░ short three four years ░░░░░░░░ for the overwhelming majority ░░░░░░░░ them and it s ░░░░░░░░ their platform They re ░░░░░░░░ uniform wearing the Dallas ░░░░░░░░ or the New York ░░░░░░░░ uniform I can t ░░░░░░░░ it on my job ░░░░░░░░ can t do it ░░░░░░░░ yours If you work ░░░░░░░░ McDonald s you can ░░░░░░░░ do it while wearing ░░░░░░░░ uniform It s long ░░░░░░░░ due for the NFL ░░░░░░░░ to put their foot ░░░░░░░░ and say Look guys ░░░░░░░░ support what you re ░░░░░░░░ support of You just ░░░░░░░░ t do it in ░░░░░░░░ during our football game ░░░░░░░░ have business to conduct ░░░░░░░░ There s a time ░░░░░░░░ place for everything I ░░░░░░░░ what Jerry said here ░░░░░░░░ very appropriate CAVUTO Jemele ░░░░░░░░ I m sure you ░░░░░░░░ the ESPN host who ░░░░░░░░ very critical of Donald ░░░░░░░░ on these issues and ░░░░░░░░ himself in NFL policy ░░░░░░░░ said of this move ░░░░░░░░ Jones and his move ░░░░░░░░ the answer is to ░░░░░░░░ advertisers if Jones were ░░░░░░░░ follow up on this ░░░░░░░░ do you think of ░░░░░░░░ WHITLOCK I think that ░░░░░░░░ are people like Jemele ░░░░░░░░ and other people in ░░░░░░░░ media that want to ░░░░░░░░ this protest going It ░░░░░░░░ good chaos it s ░░░░░░░░ for conversation it s ░░░░░░░░ for those of us ░░░░░░░░ the media that want ░░░░░░░░ go back and forth ░░░░░░░░ this issue She s ░░░░░░░░ an option for the ░░░░░░░░ that are against Jerry ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ s the right solution.”
