Any player known for their shirts, cleats & gloves and other things they have done over the years to support our military and veterans. There have been many. But then the kneeling crap. And although the NFL has made millionaires out of endless amounts of black people, they became racists overnight, plantation owning owners. Many were known for their support & donations and outreach organizations. Not everyone chimed into the kneeling.
And even the NFL went both ways, some supporting the military and some supporting the kneeling and racist bullshit.
And then they jump all over the colors and veteran's stuff this week. Hypocrites, many of them.

Bryant: NFL’s Veterans Day Events Reveal a ‘Staggering Level of Hypocrisy’
One of ESPN’s senior writers is unhappy with the NFL’s annual recognition of America’s veterans and said the celebration reveals “a staggering level of hypocrisy.”
Writing for NBC News, ESPN’s Howard Bryant slammed the National Football League for lauding “America’s war machine” as “part of its business model.”
Bryant blasted the NFL’s recognition of our soldiers as nothing else but the league’s “annual armed forces propaganda effort.”
Salute to Service is the National Football League’s annual armed forces propaganda effort culminating in a series of events in November around Veteran’s Day. The NFL has spent a lot of time and money attempting to solidify the war/military metaphor that football has embraced for decades, but this metaphor has taken on a distinctively corporate flavor in the past few decades.
Not only is it a mere “propaganda” effort meant to pump up “America’s war machine,” but Bryant also insists that “no tangible benefit will be passed down to veterans” from these events.
Bryant also essentially claims it is false patriotism for the NFL to salute our soldiers.
The NFL, long triumphant over baseball, calls itself “America’s game.” Fox brands its Sunday afternoon national broadcast as “America’s Game of the Week,” and what better way to brand itself as patriotic than by adding the jets and camouflage and servicemen and women to the entertainment package.
