Several soccer fans out of a crowd of about 3,000 in attendance booed and chanted “USA!” at an MLS game Wednesday night at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas between FC Dallas and Nashville SC as players and refs knelt in unison for the playing of the national anthem before the game. In a post-game press conference, Dallas star Reggie Cannon went off on fans for chanting “USA!” and booing the players, calling the fans “disgusting” and whining that his team has been through “absolute hell” the past six months because of the pandemic. Cannon ranted for over two minutes about the booing of the players for kneeling in support

Free speech used to kneel, free speech used to react to kneeling. Quit whining and deal with it.

Believe Hillary had a different word, deplorable.
He wants to have his "freedom of speech" moment, but doesn't like it when others voice their freedom of speech, huh?
And, he thinks he's been through hell the last 6 months too? That privileged world of a sports star.

A lot of gullible people, like Reggie Cannon, think that BLM actually cares about black people. The poor fool.

The one good thing to come out of all this pure evil in 2020 is that I have truly come to realize just how totally and completely useless all professional athletes and Hollyweird actors truly are!!!!!

Reggie's 'respect my right to protest and screw your right to protest me' belief must be so strong that he is willing to quit his day job and start working on a beer delivery truck. Protest for any reason doesn't mean people have to respect, honor, or desire the same protest. And in this country they are allowed to counter protest such behavior. If one wonts respect, it must be earned Another 2-year rich jock tantrum doesn't earn anything.

3,000 really needed out of the house. Here in Austin, investors and taxpayers just built a very nice soccer stadium. Can’t tell you their tell you their team name. Austin Apaches? No, that’s not it.

I wouldn't be booing. I'd be walking out never to come back. Problem is all those seats have been paid for up front.

Actions have consequences, Reggie. If you don't like the booing, don't kneel during the national anthem. Otherwise, shut up and take it. Would you like empty stands better? Keep it up, and you might be surprised.

He has the right to trash the country that has made him a wealthy man, but he finds it "disgusting" that soccer fans love this country. I don't think I like this guy.

Why couldn't we keep that dumbazz game over in Europe? And anyone that kneels for the Anthem can haul their sorry butts back to where they came from...

American sports used to require hand eye coordination and a kind of Darwinian selection process for the most skilled or most powerful. The modern sports of equalization are stupid.

Anthem kneelers are privileged, freeloading black showboats and white cowards.who never served their country nor put themselves in harm's way for anyone's freedom. Just riding the popular wave of virtue signalling.
Real protesters would be out in the hot Dallas sun on their own time.

My opinion. If you're wasting money going to these things, get your money's worth. Get a massive rally, come down on to the field and surround these twits to sing the national anthem, maybe followed by some other traditional patriotic themes. Have a REAL peaceful protest.
Just disrupt the game. And leave, slowly, as security requests, leaving them an empty stadium.

Reggie. We don’t support BLM, we don’t support disrespecting our national anthem, and we don’t support whining athletes. Get it now? Oh yeah, and we think you’re disgusting.

I'm with #6. Thought I would miss pro sports - not a rabid fan of any team in particular but did enjoy following the standings as seasons concluded. Turns out that there's plenty to do without it. Thanks, Dr. F - you did me a favor. (Will admit that I'm still eagerly looking forward to some SEC football, though.)

These people are at work. They do not have a 1st Amendment right to say or do anything they want at work. If they want to protest they should do it on their own time. I blame the owners for this crap, not the moronic athletes.

Hey Reggie and the rest of you disgraceful idiots, if you want to kneel and play politics, run for office, otherwise play the game and SHUT UP!
Maybe you're confused, Soccer isn't Socker...you don't get to beat up on anyone, there are supposed to be rules.

I would much rather do something "athletic" than pay to watch someone do something athletic. Professional sports lost me. I used to like to watch NFL and PGA. Golf, I still like to watch if the weather is crappy where I live.

I hear they play soccer in other countries where they don't play the National Anthem. Go check it out.

So, it takes a cannon for Reggie to shoot his mouth off. I've never heard of him and hope I don't hear of him again. America does not need any more fools such as you. On top of all that, I don't even know what color he is.....Yellow, you be my first guess.
