NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Giants co-owner John Mara says his team would have faced a boycott from fans last season if its players had joined Colin Kaepernick’s protest of kneeling during the national anthem.
“All my years being in the league, I never received more emotional mail from people than I did about that issue,” Mara told TheMMQB.com. “‘If any of your players ever do that, we are never coming to another Giants game.’ It wasn’t one or two letters. It was a lot. It’s an emotional, emotional issue for a lot of people, moreso than any other issue I’ve run into.
