Panthers Eric Reid expands on calling Ma

A week after said that "sold out" NFL players protesting racial injustice in order to fund his coalition, Reid found himself after the ' win Sunday over the . Reid, who said that Jenkins "capitalized" on protest to "get his organization funded," was criticized by for his comments."He's not only John Mackey Jersey taking a shot at Jenkins ; he's taking a shot at everyone in the Players Coalition," "I'm a part of that, a lot of guys are a part of that, and I feel his direction was as if, because he was a part of it at one point in time, he went to the direction of, 'okay, if Kaepernick is not the leader, then this is all for naught.' And our take was, 'I'm sorry, but if guys voted for Kaepernick to be that, then okay, so be it,' but it wasn't that."Norman added: "If you want to be a parakeet: ' James Morgan Jersey What you say, Kap? What you say?' You can say that all you want, but the thing is, you can't tell another man what they doing if they not going to come in here and be a man about themselves and tell us the direction of what you want to do."Reid said that he hadn't heard Norman's comments. In response, Reid gave a glimpse into the players-owners meeting that occurred last October. What he said appeared to beWe established within the first five minutes of that meeting that we weren't there to negotiate an end to the protest. After about an hour and a half of talking, Texans owner Bob McNair says: 'I think the elephant of the room is this protesting.' Bills and Sabres owner Terry Pegula says 'yeah, I've already lost two sponsors for the Sabres . We need to put a Band-Aid on this, and we need a black figurehead to do it' ... Eagles owner Jeff Lurie says 'we can do more for the black E.J. Speed Jersey community than you could ever imagine with our resources.' Bob McNair then says 'yeah, just make sure you tell your comrades to stop this protesting busine s.Reid then re-affirmed that the coalition wasn't negotiating an end to the protest, but he then said that at the end of November: Malcolm called me on the phone and asked 'if the NFL made a donation to the player's coalition, would that be enough for me to stop protesting.' He said that they were willing to do $5 million, and I told him 'no' ... He then asked me 'well how much would it take?' So Keke Coutee Jersey I ended that conversation, I reported back to other players what he said to me, and at that point we removed ourselves from the player's coalition. That weekend he stopped protesting. He said that it was time for everyone to stop protesting. He didn't protest the rest of the year.You can see Reid's full comments here, as he goes on to further explain the rationale behind his criticism of Jenkins and the coalition. Eric Reid expanding on his comments about Malcolm Jenkins Jason Huber (@_JasonHuber) Eric Reid made it perfectly clear upon being signed by the Panthers He's keeping that promise. Jenkins, of course, has staunchly supported Kaepernick and Reid, saying he's "rooting" for Reid and that the ' tape proved to him that Kaepernick should have a job.Reid went on to say that the deal was set up like a " NFL Indianapolis Colts Jersey player contract, heavily incentivized." As for league office resistance since the Panthers signed him? "It's interesting, I got fined. I got an interception overturned (at the end of the game). We'll see how this appeal goes next week," he said. The fine Reid is referring to for flipping Zach Ertz over his shoulder when Ertz tried to retaliate for a hit Reid put on Carson Wentz. Zach Ertz tried to stick up for Carson Wentz and got the Philly special laid on him by Eric Reid NOTSportsCenter (@NOTSportsCenter) After the fine (and Ertz's lack of a fine), Reid replied "what am I supposed to do? He charged me."
