Colts Jim Irsay had placed a post on the internet that the protests of several football players at football games was hurting the business of football. Irsay in a nutshell said in his post that football players are basically entertainers and should keep their protests in another venue besides a football stadium. Irsay did take the post down from the internet. Colts head coach Chuck Pagano was interviewed the next day about releasing Cromartie. Pagano insisted that Cromartie was terminated since his play on the field was not helping his team win football games. What Pagano did not reveal was that if Irsay ordered him to terminate Cromartie or not. Cromartie was the only player on the Colts team to issue his protest. You make the call.
