Carolina Panthers’ Jeremy Shockey Slams Houston Texans Players for Poor National Anthem Etiquette
from The Blaze
Carolina Panthers tight end Jeremy Shockey criticized members of the Houston Texans for not putting their hands over their hearts during the national anthem, calling their inaction “kind of offensive.”
Shockey says he saw “about 10 players” who didn’t do the traditional gesture when the anthem is played, and he told some of them how he felt during Carolina’s 28-13 victory.
“I was pretty upset in the way they weren’t showing respect to America during the national anthem,” Shockey said. “This is America and you should at least give respect to America.”
Shockey‘s rant came in response to a reporter’s question about the Texans’ defense.
