Spike Lee Has Heated Debate with Ex-NFL Player Michael Faulkner over Kaepernick: He ‘Should Have a Job!’

Spike Lee Has Heated Debate with Ex-NFL Player Michael Faulkner over Kaepernick: He ‘Should Have a Job!’ (Mediaite)

Filmmaker Spike Lee and former New York Jets player Rev. Michael Faulkner had an intense exchange at a CNN town hall which focused on the NFL protests.

Former NFL player Hines Ward said that his team the Pittsburgh Steelers “dropped the ball” by staying in the tunnel (with the exception of Alejandro Villanueva) and that how the Dallas Cowboys “came close to getting it right” by kneeling before the National Anthem.

That didn’t seem to satisfy Lee.

“I was not buying that show with the owners kneeling with the players with their arms locked up,” Lee reacted. “I wasn’t buying it because they’re forgetting why this whole thing has happened. If they want to stop, if they want to unite the players, Colin Kaepernick should have a job in the NFL!”
