Vikings Hall of Famer Ron Yary has turned his back on the NFL, stopped watching games a year ago and is encouraging others to do the same until players stop protesting during the national anthem.
He said he doesn't object to players speaking out on any issue on their own time, but disagrees "vehemently" with them using the football field, the national anthem and an audience of paying football customers as their backdrop.
"There's only one place in America where you cannot take your grievances with you and put them on display, and that's at the job site," Yary said.
